| [Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Tensions between the US and Iran continued to escalate this week after President Donald Trump extended a ceasefire while maintaining an American blockade of Iranian ports. Now, the IRGC-affiliated Fars News Agency has outlined what would happen should the war, which started following a major offensive by US and Israeli forces on February 28, continue. The news agency said that if the US were to put boots on the ground in Iran, neighbouring Gulf states should expect retaliation. 'Iran has no need to negotiate to bring the confrontation to an end; it is sufficient for the enemy to understand the 'rules of the game'. 'If there is a ground attack, Bahrain and the UAE are mutual targets for a ground attack,' Fars warned. It added that 'if Iran's infrastructure is targeted, the entire region's power and oil facilities will be put at risk.'
