Iran International quotes Fada Hossein Maleki, a member of the Iranian parliament's National Security Committee, as saying Iran has moved from a deterrence posture to an 'offensive' stage. He added that there is certainly no discussion of negotiations, and that countries that involve themselves in a full-scale war with Iran will suffer heavy blows.
Fada Hossein Maleki, a member of the Iranian parliament's National Security Committee, told Iran International that the Islamic Republic has exited a state of deterrence and entered an 'offensive' stage. Maleki stated that 'there is certainly no discussion of negotiations' and warned that countries that become involved in a full-scale war with Iran will suffer heavy blows.
The statement adds to a series of similar declarations from Iranian officials in recent weeks. The Zioneer has previously reported on Iranian officials rejecting negotiations and threatening escalation, including a senior IRGC commander's claim that Iran enters negotiations from a position of high military readiness, and a parliament member's warning that the United States cannot fight a full-scale war. The remarks reflect the continued hardening of Tehran's posture amid the broader direct confrontation with Israel and the United States.
