An Iranian Defense Ministry spokesperson says our targets for hitting the enemy have been determined, Fars reports

Statements of this kind out of Iranian official channels, relayed through semi-official agencies, have a long history as calibrated signalling rather than imminent operational notice: on previous occasions the rhetoric has typically crested, then either dissolved into deniable proxy action or been followed by a telegraphed, symbolically bounded strike designed to satisfy deterrence without forcing escalation. The distinction worth drawing is between declaratory readiness, which is cheap and frequent, and observable mobilisation, force posture changes, airspace closures, or senior leadership movement, which have historically been the more reliable tells. The established pattern in the crude market is a modest risk-premium bid into headlines of this type that fades unless physical flows through Gulf shipping lanes are actually threatened; freight and insurance rates on tankers in the strait have tended to be a better gauge of seriousness than the spot move itself. The actors here are familiar: ministry spokespeople and state-aligned media are standard conduits for this messaging, and their track record is one of threats issued well in excess of actions taken. The follow-ons worth noting are any response from the counterparty side, movement in regional airspace and shipping advisories, and whether the language shifts from conditional to specific timing.
