Iran ‘fully ready’ for new US attack after Trump Threat

TEHRAN, Sept 21: Iran’s top army commander warned on Monday that the military is fully prepared for more direct attacks on Israel as the two sides continue to exchange war-talk. 

“If they [Israel] are in a rush to receive another True Promise operation [aerial assault], we are fully ready to deliver an appropriate strike �" and collect on what they already owe us,” Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi, Commander-in-Chief of Iran’s Army, said during a military ceremony using the code name of Iran’s direct attacks on Israel.

Mousavi’s comments come amid a multi-front conflict between Israel and Iranian-aligned forces, including Hezbollah in Lebanon, groups in Syria and Iraq and the Houthis in Yemen, in the wake of the war in Gaza sparked by Iran-aligned Hamas's October 7 attacks on Israel.

AFP adds, Iran's Revolutionary Guards on Monday warned they would attack new targets and deploy new weapons if the US launches further attacks on the country.

Almost seven months into their war, Tehran and Washington remain locked in a stalemate, though neither side appears willing to return to full-scale war.�" AL JAZEERA
