Iran Warns U.S., Allies Against 'All-Out' Conflict Amid New Nuclear Talks
The eighth round of Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) revival talks began this week in Austria. The seventh round ended with U.S. and European frustration and warnings that the window to reach a diplomatic, non-military solution to Iran's growing nuclear capabilities was closing.

Amid reports that the U.S. has considered military strikes on Iran and with continued Israeli threats to do the same, top Iranian military officials have been issuing warnings of their own that enemy action could prompt a bloody and costly regional conflict.

Major General Gholam Ali Rashid, the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' (IRGC) Khatam al-Anbia headquarters, told reporters on Wednesday that recent and future IRGC drills should stand as a warning to those considering attacking Iran.
