The Iranian Ministry of Intelligence affirmed that the martyrdom of several senior military commanders and officials has not affected the strength and cohesion of the country's security and military institutions. In an official statement, the Ministry explained that over the
past eight months, Iran has faced a "hybrid war" encompassing economic pressures, sanctions, media campaigns, as well as intelligence battles and cyberattacks. The statement noted that security agencies have thwarted attempts to smuggle weapons and recruit spies, emphasizing that the
armed forces maintain full readiness. They continue to launch preemptive strikes and complex security operations to counter external threats and attempts to undermine internal stability.
