Iran says army stronger than at start of Middle East war

lalibre.be (French) —

Iran's army said Saturday it is "stronger" than at the start of the Middle East war, vowing an "immediate" and "geographically unlimited" response to any attack following recent US threats. Military spokesman Mohammad Akraminia stated forces are on higher alert, adding any retaliation would be swift and effective. This follows reported explosions on Qeshm Island and Iran's claim it destroyed a US drone there, amid ongoing US strikes. The US has offered a $20 million reward for information on Iran's nuclear program, which Tehran denies weaponizing. Diplomatic efforts via Qatar continue, with Iran demanding a ceasefire, sanctions relief, and an end to the naval blockade to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
