The Iranian Mehr news agency published a statement declaring, 'We are ready for any scenario,' but added that there is no direct threat to attack Israel, at least not now. The message comes amid heightened regional tensions following recent exchanges between Iran and the US.
The Iranian Mehr news agency issued a statement Friday evening declaring that Tehran is ready for any scenario, while clarifying that there is currently no direct threat to attack Israel. The agency's phrasing—'we are ready for any scenario, but at least not now'—appears designed to signal preparedness without escalating rhetoric.
This statement comes amid a period of heightened regional tensions. As The Zioneer reported over recent days, the IRGC has denied issuing any threat to fire at Israel (June 11, 01:41 Jerusalem), while both Iranian intelligence sources and the IRGC have warned of readiness to respond to any US military action (June 10-11). An Israeli official stated on June 11 that the military is poised for both defense and offense.
The Mehr statement notably avoids any direct threat toward Israel, in contrast to earlier IRGC warnings focused on potential US strikes. The message appears calibrated to maintain deterrence posture without triggering further escalation.
