BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 27. The Iranian Army has
warned that any potential attacks will be met with a stronger
response.
According to a statement issued by the Iranian Army, the
country’s armed forces will continue to protect Iran’s territorial
integrity and independence.
"The Iranian Army will not hesitate for a moment in fulfilling
its mission to safeguard the country’s territorial integrity and
independence and will respond more decisively to any attacks," the
statement said.
The army emphasized that, along with other branches of Iran’s
armed forces, it remains fully prepared to counter any threats and
potential plans targeting the country.
The statement added that Iran’s armed forces are capable of
responding to any possible actions and are prepared to confront
threats across the country while defending its territorial
integrity.
Meanwhile, the latest escalation in U.S.-Iranian relations began
on July 8. On that day, for the first time since the signing of the
memorandum between Washington and Tehran, the U.S. military carried
out several waves of strikes on Iranian territory, claiming that
this was in response to an attack on a merchant ship in the Strait
of Hormuz. On the same day, U.S. President Donald Trump announced
the end of the ceasefire with Iran. In response, Tehran began
attacking U.S. facilities in Bahrain, Jordan, Qatar, Kuwait, the
UAE, and Oman.
