Iranian Defense Minister Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Gharaei Ashtiani stated on February 10 that the country's armed forces are on the highest alert to counter any new act of aggression. Speaking at a military event, he stressed that Iran possesses the capability and detailed plans to respond to any threat, adding that defensive measures have been bolstered.
General Ashtiani also referenced recent military drills, describing them as part of a continuous strategy to enhance Iran's deterrence capabilities. He did not provide specific details about the plans but said the Iranian military has conducted a comprehensive assessment of potential vulnerabilities and adjusted its defense systems accordingly.
The statement comes as Iran continues to face tensions with Western powers over its nuclear program and cyberattacks. The United States and Israel have repeatedly warned of possible military action if nuclear negotiations fail. However, Tehran insists it seeks a diplomatic solution while maintaining military strength to defend its sovereignty.
