The spokesman of the Iranian parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Committee said Sunday that pauses in the war created by negotiations or a ceasefire helped Iran rehabilitate and strengthen its offensive and defensive capabilities. He said the pause between the '12-day war' and the '39-day war' led to a qualitative and quantitative improvement and an expansion of intelligence sources, and that the same is happening now.
The statement by the Iranian parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Committee spokesman reinforces a pattern of Iranian officials publicly crediting ceasefire pauses with enabling military rebuilding. Earlier Sunday, the Iranian army spokesman said the armed forces used the ceasefire to rehabilitate systems and develop new UAVs, as The Zioneer reported. The parliamentary spokesman specifically cited the pause between the '12-day war' and the '39-day war' as a period of qualitative and quantitative improvement in offensive and defensive capabilities and intelligence expansion. He added that the current pause is similarly benefiting Iran's military posture. The remarks align with a broader Iranian messaging strategy of portraying diplomatic pauses as opportunities to strengthen the country's military capabilities.
