Separately, Hamad Akbarzadeh, political assistant to the commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy, said naval forces would use new capabilities in the event of any US military action against the country.
Speaking at a public gathering in the southern city of Minab on Tuesday, he warned that if the United States takes military action, the IRGC Navy would employ what he described as advanced targeting systems and new operational capabilities.
He said such capabilities could be used against large naval vessels in the region.
The US and Israel launched a joint offensive against Iran on February 28, prompting Tehran to respond with strikes on what it described as US interests across the region, many of them in Gulf countries.
A ceasefire was announced on April 8 through Pakistani mediation, followed by talks hosted in Islamabad on April 11-12, but the negotiations ended without an agreement.
US President Donald Trump later said the truce had been extended at Pakistan’s request pending a proposal from Tehran.
Trump signaled on Monday that he was unlikely to accept Iran’s latest proposal to end the war after Tehran proposed a plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz while leaving questions about its nuclear programme for later negotiations
