Iran threatens U.S., Israel with ‘harsher’ attacks
Iran has warned the U.S. and Israel that it would launch further and more severe attacks, escalating tensions amid ongoing hostilities.
According to Iran’s semi-official Iranian Students’ News Agency, a spokesman for the country’s armed forces headquarters said on Thursday that Iran’s adversaries underestimated its military capabilities.
”You know nothing about our very extensive and strategic capabilities,” the spokesman said, adding that recent strikes by the U.S. and Israel had failed to significantly weaken Iran’s military strength.
The spokesman dismissed the importance of previously targeted sites, describing them as insignificant, and insisted that key military production facilities remained intact and beyond the reach of foreign forces.
He also rejected claims that Iran’s strategic weapons programmes, including missile systems, long-range drones, air defence technologies and electronic warfare capabilities, had been seriously damaged.
The warning signals a potential intensification of the conflict, with the spokesman stating that military operations would continue until Iran’s opponents ”capitulate”.
