A spokesman for the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps said Iran would target \u201call the infrastructure still standing in the region\u201d if the U.S. attacks Iran\u2019s sites.\u00a0He also warned the U.S. not to interfere in the Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is Iran\u2019s invincible red line,\u201d Lt. Col. Ebrahim Zolfaghari said in comments carried by state-affiliated media.<\/p>\n

The U.S. and Iran are trading threats and attacks after a mid-June memorandum of understanding \u2014 structured to lead to lasting peace \u2014 fell apart due to jockeying over the Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n
