Iran warns foes on military power
Tehran says capabilities remain intact
Iran’s Khatam al‑Anbiya Central Headquarters spokesman said the United States and Israel lack accurate knowledge of Tehran’s “vast and strategic” military capabilities and rejected claims that recent strikes destroyed Iran’s key defense infrastructure. Lieutenant‑Colonel Ebrahim Zolfaqari asserted that attacks struck insignificant sites while Iran’s strategic missile, drone, air‑defence and electronic‑warfare production occurs at locations unknown and unreachable by adversaries.
Zolfaqari warned Washington and Tel Aviv against counting Iran’s missiles and drones, saying any attempt would be a miscalculation, and vowed that aggressors would “pay the price” for their actions. He framed the confrontation as an ongoing war of aggression by the US and Israel that Iran will resist until the enemies’ “permanent and definitive humiliation, regret and surrender,” promising “more crushing, wider and destructive” responses.
Since February 28, Iran has launched waves of retaliatory strikes on US military sites regionally and on Israeli positions, which Tehran characterizes as legitimate self‑defense under international law. Iranian officials have also accused the US and Israel of war crimes for strikes on civilian infrastructure, citing incidents such as the Minab elementary school massacre and attacks on officials’ homes as evidence of what they call terrorist methods.
