Ahmadreza Pourdastan, the director of the Iranian army's Center for Strategic Studies and Research, stated Thursday that Iran's armed forces are prepared for a preemptive strike against its enemies. The statement, reported by i24NEWS, comes amid heightened tensions between Israel and Iran following Israeli strikes on Iranian air defenses and Hezbollah command centers in recent weeks.
The warning follows a series of escalating threats from Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, which has repeatedly accused Israel of violating a ceasefire in southern Lebanon and threatened a 'harsh response' — as The Zioneer reported in recent days. Pourdastan's remarks are the latest in a string of bellicose statements by Iranian military figures, though no specific operational details or timeline were provided.
As of this report, there is no independent confirmation of any deployment or specific attack plans. The statement is assessed as part of Iran's ongoing rhetorical campaign rather than indicating an imminent military action, but it underscores the volatile security environment on Israel's northern front and the broader shadow conflict with Tehran.
