Tehran, Iran – The Islamic Republic of Iran, through high-level military and political statements, announced that it has raised its combat readiness to the highest level, affirming its complete preparedness to confront any potential war scenarios with the United States and Israel.
Iranian Army: 1,000 New Drones and a Warning of a “Regional War”
Iranian Army spokesman Mohammad Akrami Nia revealed the bolstering of defense capabilities through the addition of 1,000 strategic drones to the combat systems of the four branches of the armed forces. He confirmed that all defense systems have been upgraded and are now fully operational.
The spokesman addressed a direct message to the Trump administration, stating:
Washington’s Choice: Akrami Nia emphasized that the US president faces two choices: reconciliation or war. He also affirmed that the armed forces are prepared to deal with both.
Expanding the Conflict: He warned that if war breaks out, its scope will extend beyond borders. It will encompass all US bases in the region, from the “occupied territories” to the Gulf and the Sea of Oman.
In a related development, Ali Akbar Velayati, advisor to Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, sent a message of condolence to Hezbollah Secretary-General Naim Qassem on the death of Abdul Karim Nasrallah (father of former Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah).
The message contained important political points, most notably:
Commitment to Support: Velayati described Iran as the “backbone of the resistance.”
Defensive Readiness: He affirmed Tehran’s readiness to confront any external threat, particularly from Washington and Tel Aviv. He indicated that Iran has no intention of attacking others.
Confidence in Victory: He expressed his certainty that victory will ultimately belong to the “resistance front.”
In summary: These statements coincide with escalating tensions in the region. Tehran is combining a show of military force (drones) with an emphasis on the steadfastness of its regional alliances.
