Ebrahim Rezaee, spokesperson for the Iranian parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, said military officials assess a new confrontation is possible and are preparing accordingly. He added that this does not mean war will break out imminently, but that Iran is logically ready for another round of fighting, with a focus on improving defensive capabilities rather than negotiations, according to Iranian media.
Ebrahim Rezaee, the spokesperson for the Iranian parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, stated that Iranian military officials assess a new confrontation as possible and are actively preparing for another war. In remarks carried by Iranian media, Rezaee clarified that this does not necessarily mean war will break out tonight or tomorrow, but that logically and reasonably, Iran must be prepared for another round of fighting with the enemy. He emphasized that Iran's focus is on improving defensive capabilities rather than on negotiations, and said there is no guarantee that another war will not be imposed on the country in the future.
The statement is the latest in a series of escalatory remarks from Iranian officials over recent days. As The Zioneer reported at 20:46 Jerusalem time, Iran's Supreme National Security Council stated that a response is 'near,' while the deputy head of the Supreme Leader's political bureau also raised the possibility of a return to fighting. Rezaee himself had earlier warned that Iran's forces were at the highest level of readiness. The current remarks add a more measured tone — Rezaee explicitly pushed back against the notion of immediate war — while still underscoring Tehran's posture of preparation for a protracted conflict.
