Iran has not revealed all its ‘winning cards’ yet, top general warns amid US-Israeli escalations

Iran has not yet revealed all of its “winning cards” and is ready for a potential confrontation with its enemies, a high-ranking military official has warned.

Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters’ Deputy Inspector Brigadier General Mohammad Jafar Asadi made the remarks in an interview responding to recent claims by Western media circles and American officials regarding the vulnerability of Iran’s defense capabilities.

“We have said many times that we have not yet revealed all our winning cards, and there are many cards we will use if needed,” he said.

Explaining the status of the country’s defense industry, General Asadi said, “The facilities we now use to manufacture military equipment and support the Armed Forces are completely hidden from the enemy’s view. They have no knowledge of their locations. Therefore, our situation in defense production is acceptable.”

Asadi described the people as the most important support base for the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

“Our Armed Forces do not need atomic bombs. Our ultimate weapon and atomic bomb is the people themselves — people who have shown up in streets and public squares for over ninety nights,” he noted.

The MSC Sariska, a Panamanian‑flagged vessel, was reportedly targeted near Iraqi waters and sustained a major explosion.

Referring to threats from NATO and Western allies, he stated that since the glorious victory of the Islamic Revolution until the present day, America and its allies, including NATO, have been engaged in confronting the revolution.

“But even during the eight-year war, when the former Soviet Union was also involved, they could not achieve anything. Now, if they take any action against the Islamic Republic of Iran, they will face defeat,” he said.

Recalling US President Donald Trump’s threat to take Iran back to the Stone Age, General Asadi declared, “Even if we have nothing, we will fight America with stones. Because we do not surrender to America.”

He warned against miscalculations by the US, Israel and their allies, saying, “America only wants our complete surrender, and the Iranian nation will never surrender.”

He also pointed to negotiations with the United States, noting that the talks will not solve economic and livelihood problems.

“When surrender is out of the question, war lies ahead. So we are ready and have no issue with war. Even if NATO joins this battlefield, we have no concerns whatsoever,” he said further.

On February 28, the United States launched its latest bout of unprovoked aggression against Iran together with the Israeli regime, but was forced to announce a two-week lull in attacks 40 days later following at least 100 waves of decisive and successful Iranian retaliation.

Washington then extended the ceasefire, but has been trying to impose a naval blockade on the Islamic Republic in order to force the country to reopen the strategic Strait of Hormuz that Tehran has shut down in retaliation.
