The Iranian army's spokesman said Thursday that Iran still considers itself in a state of war and has used the time to strengthen its defenses. The statement, carried by Iranian media, underscores Tehran's continued maximalist posture amid regional tensions.
The Iranian army's spokesman said in a statement Thursday that Tehran 'still sees itself in a state of war' and has not wasted time in strengthening its defensive capabilities. The message, reported by Iranian media via Ynet's the source, continues a persistent pattern of maximalist rhetoric from Iranian military and political figures over the past several weeks. As The Zioneer has documented, senior Iranian officials — from the Defense Ministry to the Foreign Ministry spokesman — have repeatedly asserted readiness for a protracted conflict and dismissed reports of degraded military capacity, even as Israel and the US have carried out strikes. The current statement adds no new operational detail and remains a single-source claim from Iranian state-aligned media; no independent corroboration is available. It reinforces the assessment that Tehran's information posture continues to prioritize psychological warfare and signaling resolve rather than any concrete change in battlefield reality.
