Esmail Baghaei made the comments in an interview live on Al Jazeera English. It was his first in the ongoing conflict.

Baghaei said: “Any American intervention would be a recipe for an all-out war in the region.”

President Donald Trump initially distanced himself from Israel’s attacks on Iran but has hinted at greater US involvement, saying he wants something “much bigger” than a ceasefire. The US has also sent more warplanes to the region.
