Habibollah Sayyari, deputy coordinator of the Islamic Republic Army, told the Defapress website: “Trump keeps repeating several sentences, saying that they do not have nuclear weapons, that we hit their navy, that we hit their air force, that their economic situation is bad, and that they didn’t pay their salaries; he doesn’t have any other sentences, and we have become used to these repetitions.”

Sayyari added: “Our duty in the armed forces is to enhance deterrence capability, and considering the experiences and lessons we have gained from the 12-day war, the Ramadan war, and the Hormuz war, we have made a great effort to address any potential weak points and strengthen our strong points.”
