Update: Iran's supreme leader orders an 'immediate' and 'geographically unrestricted' response to any new attack, as the Revolutionary Guard claims a fourth tanker fire in Hormuz
Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei told top military officials on Saturday to prepare "an immediate, impactful, and geographically unrestricted response" to any threat, saying Iran will set the "timing and terms" for ending any new conflict, the Jerusalem Post reported; a statement on his Telegram channel warned the U.S. against resuming attacks, CBS News and AFP reported. Iran's Revolutionary Guard said a supertanker carrying more than 2 million barrels was the fourth "violating" tanker to catch fire Friday after hitting mines on what it calls an unauthorized route, and claimed it intercepted a U.S. MQM-170 Outlaw drone over Qeshm Island, Xinhua reported; the AP said it could not verify the tanker claims. A response from Iran to the Qatari peace draft is expected by the weekend, a source told CBS News.
