Ebrahim Rezaei, spokesperson for Iran's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, stated that Iran's territorial waters expanded during the 40-day war and suggested that in a future war, Iran's land territory could also grow. The statement was reported by Iranian state-aligned channels.
Ebrahim Rezaei, the parliamentary spokesperson for Iran's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, said on Wednesday that during the '40-day war' — a reference to the recent conflict between Iran and the U.S./Israel — Iran's territorial waters expanded, and hinted that a future war could bring an expansion of Iran's land territory. The remark extends a series of bellicose statements from Iranian parliamentary officials this week. As The Zioneer reported earlier, Rezaei himself said on June 9 that Iran's military is at 'the highest level of readiness,' and on June 10 warned that Iran is ready beyond February 28 levels. Committee chairman Ebrahim Azizi warned on June 10 that the next conflict 'will not be limited to the region.' Rezaei's phrasing — 'in the next war, perhaps the extent of Iran's land will increase' — is notably ambiguous: it does not specify whether he means land gained through military conquest or through post-war political arrangements. The statement is not an official government or military announcement, and no operational details or specific claims of territorial acquisition were provided. Iran's state-aligned channels carried the remark without additional commentary or confirmation. The speaker did not define what constitutes 'the next war' or offer a timeline.
