Iran's open warning to America: 'We will strike anywhere, we are stronger than before'

Tehran (The Uttam Hindu): Tensions between the United States and Iran appear to be escalating once again. Iran has warned US President Donald Trump that if the US launches another military attack, it will receive an immediate and effective response. The Iranian military has made it clear that the retaliation will have no geographical boundaries. Iran claims that its military has become more experienced, stronger, and vigilant after direct military confrontation with the US and Israel.

"Our response will be immediate and without limit"

Iranian military spokesman Mohammad Akramian said that direct conflict with the US and Israel has further strengthened the Iranian military's capabilities. According to an AFP report, he said through Iranian state media that Iran's military situation is now better than when the conflict began in February.

Akramian said the army now has more combat experience and increased confidence. He warned that if Washington attempts to escalate tensions or launch another attack, retaliatory action will be taken on the orders of Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei. According to him, this action will be immediate, effective, and without any geographical limitations.

Iran's 7 conditions for opening the Strait of Hormuz

Amid tensions between the US and Iran, the strategically important Strait of Hormuz is also under discussion. Iran has set seven conditions for reopening this sea route. According to an Iranian military spokesman, the decision to reopen the Strait will depend on the US accepting these conditions.

The Strait of Hormuz is crucial for global oil supplies, and Iran's conditions regarding this route could play a key role in any potential negotiations between the two countries.

Trump claims America has defeated Iran

Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump has stated that negotiations with Iran are ongoing. Speaking to reporters before leaving the White House, he said the US is already in talks with Iran.

Trump, citing US military strength, claimed that the US had defeated Iran and was in a superior position against it. Despite his statement, however, there are no clear signs of a de-escalation of tensions between the two countries.

Trump said – America is making more weapons than before

Trump also hinted at possible military action against Iran. He said the US is producing more weapons for its military than ever before. "If the need arises to escalate the conflict against Iran, the US military will be fully prepared," he said.

These conflicting statements from the US and Iran are likely to keep tensions in the region high. Iran has threatened to retaliate against any new attacks, while Trump has vowed to keep military options open while maintaining dialogue.
