Mohammad Akraminia, an Iranian army spokesperson, stated that the armed forces are conducting retaliatory strikes in response to what he described as a violation of an understanding between the two nations by the U.S. "If they insist on continuing their hostile actions against our country's southern regions, we will certainly adopt new measures," Akraminia told the Defence Press news agency.

Akraminia further revealed that Iran has developed "new scenarios" intended to deter future attacks, with additional strategies to be disclosed at an opportune moment. He emphasized that Iran's air force and air defense systems have enhanced their readiness during a ceasefire period, positioning the country to handle various potential scenarios, including a ground assault.

"If the enemy resorts to aggression by land, its vulnerability will certainly be far greater than in air or long-range attacks," he claimed, suggesting that ground operations would offer Iranian forces greater opportunities to inflict casualties. This warning emerges amidst heightened tensions, with both Tehran and Washington trading accusations of escalating military actions in the region.
