[85312] Commander of the Iranian Army threatens a harsh response and reports on strikes during the fighting

Iranian Army Commander warns the West: "Any mistake will be met with cumulative rage"

In a series of speeches delivered at a ceremony awarding medals of valor, the commander of the Iranian army, Amir Hatami, emphasized Tehran's steadfastness in the face of what he defined as "attacks by the US and Israel." According to Iran International, Hatami warned that any "further mistake" by the enemy will lead to "cumulative rage" that will make the situation extremely difficult for the other side. He claimed that the US and Israel tried to lead to Iran's surrender and change the country's map, but failed in their goals.

In reports brought by SNN.ir and the official agency IRNA, Hatami detailed alleged military successes, including the attack on the "Al-Udeid" base in Qatar using Sukhoi-24 aircraft, which he claimed caused at least 6 deaths on the enemy side. In addition, Hatami claimed that the Iranian Navy hit enemy warships in the Sea of Oman using cruise missiles and drones, which caused the enemy to "not dare to return" to the area.

On the other hand, opposition and critical channels present a different picture. Cafe Politics claims that the current moves of the regime do not indicate strength, but rather a process of "internal erosion." This channel analyzes that the attempts to reach agreements with the West indicate the failure of the regime's strategy and an exacerbation of rifts within the governing echelons and among government supporters.

The reports reflect an official government narrative that emphasizes the ability of "resistance" and the local economy, in the face of critical analyses pointing to the fact that the change in foreign policy is a product of heavy pressure and survival necessity rather than a strategic military victory.
