‘Mother of all wars’ coming, Iran warns US, UK

Iran, on Tuesday, unveiled what it described as three new precision guided missiles.

The unveiling of the weapons comes after President Hassan Rouhani, according to The Sun, warned of the ‘mother of all wars’ if tensions in the Gulf spill over into conflict.

The newspaper reports that Iran’s defence minister, Brig.-Gen. Amir Hatami, said the missiles were unveiled to prove Iran “will not hesitate for a moment to defend (itself)” as he viewed the weapons in front of TV cameras.

President Rouhani stressed that Tehran, the Iranian government, is willing to negotiate over its nuclear programme but America must drop all sanctions before the country will talk. He added that while peace with Iran will be “the mother of all peace”, “war will be the mother of all wars.”

Rouhani’s warning comes as British ships join the US Navy in the Gulf following the seizure of two ships.

The UK on Monday, August 5, became the first nation to agree to join a US-led mission to protecting shipping through the Gulf after one of its tankers was seized.

Britain had previously called for a European-led mission to protect shipping through the vulnerable bottleneck, which lies partly in Iranian territorial waters.
