It means that Iran will no longer limit itself to mere retaliation, and no political border will be safe from Iran's offensive powers.
We will hear more of the Iranian perspective in a moment, but first to our correspondent in Washington, Nick Johnson.
Right, so as this keeps going then, what exactly is the US aiming to achieve, especially given the context of these peace talks?
I mean, does this mean that they are completely off the table?
Meanwhile, the Strait of Hormuz traffic pretty much ground to a halt there again.
And now two oil tankers, according to Iran's Revolutionary Guard, have hit mines there and there are reports of explosions as well.
Nick Johnson in Washington.
And we can actually bring you an update on those oil tankers that Nick was talking about that the IRGC claimed had hit mines and exploded.
The US Central Command has now dismissed those claims as false.
Iranian State TV has reported that energy facilities are among the targets that have been hit by US strikes.
And this matters because in the height of summer, temperatures can top 50 degrees Celsius.
But citizens are being told to reduce their use of electricity and, crucially, air conditioning, despite the stifling heat, as the power grid comes under additional strain.
Kashayar Junaidi from BBC Persian told me more.

Mr Mullen said his department had identified 250,000 non-US citizens on the rolls.
He also warned that if individual states refuse to work with the government on election security, their funding will be withheld.
One leading Democrat described Mr Trump's claims as bogus.
