TEHRAN: Any country that attacks Iran will become the"main battlefield", the Revolutionary Guards warned on Saturday after Washington ordered reinforcements to the Gulf following attacks on Saudi oil installations it blames on Tehran.

But Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commander Major General Hossein Salami said Iran was"ready for any type of scenario". "We have asked the United Nations to do an investigation and there are also other countries involved in the probe," he told a press conference."When it is completed, we will take the appropriate procedures to deal with this aggression," said Jubeir, without specifying.Iran's Salami, for his part, was speaking at Tehran's Islamic Revolution and Holy Defence museum during the unveiling of an exhibition of what Iran says are US and other drones captured in its territory.

"What are your drones doing in our airspace? We will shoot them down, shoot anything that encroaches on our airspace," said Salami. Saudi Arabia, which has been bogged down in a five-year war across its southern border in Yemen, has said Iran"unquestionably sponsored" the attacks. The United States upped the ante on Friday by announcing new sanctions against Iran's central bank, with President Donald Trump calling the measures the toughest America has ever imposed on another country.
