The Iranian military command, represented by the Khatam al-Anbiya Headquarters, affirmed the armed forces' absolute readiness to counter any threats with speed and precision, noting the execution of qualitative and costly offensive operations against sensitive targets. The command emphasized that
Iran and resistance forces will not yield to external threats, warning that any continued aggression will be met with strictly stronger military retaliation. This statement follows a military escalation triggered by airstrikes targeting the southern suburbs of Beirut, which resulted
in civilian casualties. As a strategic response, intense waves of missiles and drones were launched toward specific targets. Meanwhile, opposing air defense systems reported attempts to intercept the attacks and strike multiple Iranian sites, amid ongoing high alert for continued
military operations.
