Tehran: Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters on Thursday warned that the United States and Israel misjudge Tehran’s military strength, pledging the war will rage on until what it described as the “permanent, definitive and final surrender” of its enemies.
Spokesperson Ebrahim Zolfaghari, quoted by Tasnim news agency and Fars news agency, criticized US and Israeli evaluations as flawed. “Your information about our military power and equipment is incomplete. You know nothing about our vast and strategic capabilities,” Zolfaghari stated.
He dismissed notions that recent strikes have crippled Iran’s defenses, affirming that key facilities remain operational.
“Do not hope that you have destroyed our strategic missile production centers, long-range offensive and pinpoint drones, modern air defense and electronic warfare systems, and special equipment,” he emphasized.
Targeted sites so far have proven “insignificant,” Zolfaghari noted, with core production shielded in secret locations. “Our strategic military production takes place in places that you have no knowledge of and will never be able to reach,” he added. He urged restraint in estimating stockpiles, warning adversaries would “get it wrong and won’t reach any conclusion.”
This defiant posture follows US President Donald Trump’s recent address asserting significant degradation of Iran’s missile and drone assets, with victory anticipated soon. Zolfaghari countered that aggressors “will have to pay the price for the aggression you have initiated against the honorable, beloved, and Muslim Iranian people.”
Zolfaghari projected unrelenting pressure ahead. “With reliance on Allah the Almighty, this war will continue until your humiliation, disgrace, and permanent regret, and your inevitable surrender,” he proclaimed, forewarning “more crushing, broader and destructive actions.”
