Senior Iranian official Mohsen Rezaee:

If U.S. attacks continue over the next two to three days, the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran will move beyond the stage of deterrence and retaliation and enter the phase of “offense and complete destruction,” such that U.S. bases and soldiers beyond political borders will be pursued and directly targeted.

The United States should know that the attritional strategy of “war and negotiation” has reached a dead end, and in the coming days, the intensity of Iran’s attacks will increase.

Iranian Armed Forces spokesperson:

The United States and the Zionist entity have no right to be present in the region.

There is only one transit corridor through the Strait of Hormuz.

The Islamic Republic of Iran’s sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz is a source of security for the entire region, not a cause of instability.

Iranian military spokesman, full statement:

"Even during the implementation of the agreement, we will continue to strengthen our defensive capabilities, and we will maintain the readiness level of our forces more than ever before - in order to compel the enemy to implement the clauses of the agreement and fulfill its commitments."

"We will support any understanding or agreement that secures the interests of the Iranian people, but we believe that the enemy's fulfillment of its obligations requires the application of force."

"If the enemy violates the clauses of the agreement or the memorandum of understanding, we will swiftly and forcefully restore the military situation in the region to the conditions that prevailed before the agreement."

Iranian Armed Forces spokesman Abu al-Fazl Shekarchi:

“Every time Trump speaks, Iran delivers a stronger response, and that will continue.

Our responses are becoming more forceful, more powerful, and more aggressive.

We will never submit to what we call global arrogance, particularly Trump and Netanyahu.

The United States is no longer the superpower it once was. The world has witnessed Iran’s strength.”

The son of Abdolrahim Mousavi, head of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic, revealed that his father's body was buried under rubble for nearly 30 days. Mousavi was killed on the first day of U.S. and Israeli attacks targeting Khamenei's office.

Mousavi had only recently been appointed Chief of the General Staff after his predecessor, Mohammad Bagheri, was killed during the 12-day war.

IRAN ARMY SPOX FULL;

The aggressive, terrorist, and pirate U.S. military violated the ceasefire by targeting an Iranian oil tanker traveling from Iran’s coastal waters near Jask toward the Strait of Hormuz, as well as another vessel entering the Strait of Hormuz near the Emirati port of Fujairah.

At the same time, with the cooperation of some regional countries, they carried out air attacks on civilian areas along the coasts of Bandar Khamir, Sirik, and Qeshm Island.

The Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran immediately responded by attacking U.S. military vessels east of the Strait of Hormuz and south of the port of Chabahar, reportedly inflicting significant damage on them.
