Iranian Army spokesman stated Thursday that the military still considers itself at war, adding that it has not wasted time and has bolstered its defensive capabilities. The statement, attributed to the spokesman, continues a pattern of maximalist messaging from Tehran this week, after earlier remarks that Iran is ready for a protracted conflict.
The spokesman for the Iranian army said Thursday that the military still considers itself 'in a state of war' and has not wasted time in strengthening its defensive capabilities. The remarks, carried by an Iranian news channel, were attributed to the army's spokesman and come amid continued regional tensions.
This statement follows a series of bellicose messages from senior Iranian officials this week. Earlier Thursday, the Iranian army's previous spokesman said 'our finger is on the trigger, our eyes on the enemy,' as The Zioneer reported at 14:38. Earlier this week, the Iranian Defense Ministry stated that its enemies have no choice but to accept a ceasefire—a maximalist position repeated by various officials. The military's spokesman also dismissed reports that Iran's air defenses have been degraded.
The pattern reflects an ongoing information campaign by Tehran. Israeli analysts have assessed that senior Iranian officials are continuing psychological warfare despite strategic setbacks. The statement was reported by a single Iranian-linked source and has not yet been independently corroborated.
