Iran’s Army spokesman Brigadier General Mohammad Akrami-Nia says the Islamic Republic will launch preemptive operations against the enemies, as it has done before, if it determines that the country faces a threat.
Speaking to Fars News Agency on Wednesday, Akrami-Nia said Iran’s armed forces had drawn on the experience of the recent war to strengthen their readiness and better identify the enemy’s vulnerabilities.
He described a potential military operation by the Iranian armed forces as “more crushing, broader, more decisive, and faster.”
“A massive stockpile of equipment is currently at the disposal of the Iranian Army forces, and the Army is fully prepared in terms of equipment,” he added.
According to him, the Army has continued producing military equipment on a daily basis since the United States and Israel launched the current war against the country seven months ago.
The Army, he said, now has a better understanding of the enemy’s vulnerabilities, while its missile and drone capabilities have also advanced.
The general said the Islamic Republic has been working continuously to increase the range, speed and accuracy of its missiles, while also updating its target database.
Akrami-Nia, however, said military superiority alone could not determine the outcome of a war, pointing to the resistance of Iran’s ground and naval forces.
He said the Islamic Republic had demonstrated its ability to stand against a major military power without relying on support from another country.
“Today, the Islamic Republic of Iran, without receiving support from any country, has demonstrated its courage and power and stood against the enemy,” Akrami-Nia said, referring to the United States and Israel, which launched military aggression against the country on February 28.
Since then, he said, Iran’s position has been strengthened by the recognition it has gained at the regional and international levels.
“After this war, Iran will enjoy a special position as an international power,” Akrami-Nia said.
“Until now, we have been recognized as a regional power, and from now on we can consolidate our position as an international power in the international system,” he added.
The United States and the Israeli regime waged their first war against Iran in June 2025, a 12-day aggression that ended after Iran mounted resistance and carried out retaliatory operations against the aggressors.
Their second military offensive against Iran began on February 28, 2026, and continued for 40 days before coming to a halt in early April. In both wars, Iran’s resistance and retaliatory operations forced the aggressors to accept a ceasefire.
Iran has also maintained a tight grip on the Strait of Hormuz since the early days of the second war.
