Iranian Armed Forces vigilant and well-prepared to defend country: Foreign Ministry spokesperson

Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baqaei says the Iranian Armed Forces remain vigilant and are strengthening their preparedness to defend the country in the face of a possible new Israeli attack.

Baqaei made the remarks during his weekly press conference in Tehran on Monday while commenting on media hype surrounding the possibility of a renewed Israeli military attack on Iran.

“Psychological warfare and media propaganda against the country are part of the opposing side’s strategy to exert pressure on Iran and are nothing new. What matters to us is that we are closely monitoring the actions of the other parties with full vigilance and commitment, and that our Armed Forces will not show the slightest negligence or leniency when it comes to defending Iran’s sovereignty and national integrity,” he told IRNA.
