Iran's top military commander has issued a stern warning that any provocation from adversaries will be met with a "crushing" response, according to the country's state news agency.
The statement comes as tensions between Iran and rival powers in the region continue to rise following a series of recent developments. Tehran says its armed forces remain on high alert and has vowed it will not hesitate in the face of any threat to its sovereignty and national security.
Iranian military officials stressed that any miscalculation by the other side would carry a heavy price. The declaration is seen as a direct deterrent message and reflects Tehran's consistent stance on defending its strategic interests against outside pressure.
There has been no official reaction yet from the parties involved. The regional situation is being closely monitored as negotiations and diplomatic exchanges aimed at de-escalating tensions have yet to yield a breakthrough.
