Iran’s military says it is ready for renewed US attacks
Iranian military officials warned against further US attacks after President Donald Trump rejected an Iranian proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end the fighting.
Tehran, Iran. Iran’s armed forces are prepared for any renewed US attack, state media quoted army spokesperson Mohammad Akraminia as saying on Sunday. His remarks followed US President Donald Trump’s rejection of an Iranian proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and end the fighting.
Military warns of greater damage
Akraminia said Iran’s forces were fully prepared for a confrontation and warned that the United States would suffer greater damage if it attacked Iran again.
Separately, Iranian Army Commander-in-Chief Amir Hatami described the war as being at a critical and decisive stage. He said Tehran would not accept being unable to trade while foreign powers used the region’s strategic waterways.
Hatami called the Strait of Hormuz a matter of Iran’s dignity and honour. He said Iran’s enemies would not be allowed to use the logistical chokepoint while Iranians were deprived, adding that if Iran could not trade or live, others would not be able to do so either.
