Iran Rejects US Claims, Promises Escalated Attacks on America, Israel

(MENAFN) Iran’s military issued a warning on Thursday, signaling it may carry out “stronger, wider, and more destructive” attacks against the United States and Israel, pushing back against claims that its capabilities have been severely diminished, as stated by reports.

The announcement followed a televised address by U.S. President Donald Trump from the White House, in which he stated that Iran had “very few” missile launchers remaining and that its ability to deploy missiles and drones had been “dramatically curtailed.” Trump added that he anticipates the conflict to last another two to three weeks but expects it is nearing its conclusion.

Responding to these claims, a spokesperson for Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters said that U.S. and Israeli assessments of Iran’s military power are inaccurate. “As we said, we announce to the Zionist-American enemies that your information about our military power and equipment is incomplete. You are completely ignorant of our enormous and strategic capabilities,” the spokesperson stated.

The spokesperson rejected assertions that Iran’s missile production facilities and advanced systems had been neutralized. “Do not think that you have destroyed our strategic missile production centers, our long-range offensive drones, modern air defense and electronic warfare systems, or our special equipment -- because such assumptions will only make matters worse,” he said.

He added that Iran continues strategic military production in undisclosed locations, keeping it beyond the reach of its adversaries, according to reports.
