A spokesman for Iran's National Security Committee said the enemy must either surrender to Iranian demands at the negotiating table or on the battlefield, according to the Arabic-language desk Abu Saleh. The statement extends Tehran's maximalist public posture amid heightened tensions with Israel and the US.
The latest threat from Iran's political-military establishment follows a series of escalating statements over the past days. As The Zioneer reported on June 8, the IDF chief and air force commander were in the war room after Iran threatened 'surprises in the coming hours.' On June 9, an Iranian official said forces were at their highest readiness, and on June 10, Parliament Speaker Ghalibaf warned that any aggression would meet a decisive response. The current statement — attributed to an official spokesman of the National Security Committee and relayed by the Abu Saleh Arabic desk — adopts a classic either-or formulation, leaving no ambiguity about Iran's stated position. No specific military deployment or imminent action has been independently confirmed at this stage.
