Statement:
"Once again, we declare:
- With distrust toward the American and Zionist enemies, we are monitoring all their movements in the region, and in the event of any further miscalculation, we will confront them in a more destructive and deadly manner than before.
- With initiative, we manage the Strait of Hormuz and control it intelligently.
- We reiterate once more that we are not, and will not be, a threat to the countries of the region. We recommend that Muslim governments and nations trust the Islamic Republic of Iran and cooperate in efforts to expel the main destabilising force in the region and the world—the U.S. military.
- The armed forces will seize every opportunity to enhance their defensive power and, with the withdrawal of hostile forces from the region, will use all their capabilities to establish order and security in the Persian Gulf and international waterways, guaranteeing regional security.
- While expressing appreciation for the sacrifices of the fighters of the resistance front in the recent imposed war, we will continue, as before, to support the resistance front in Lebanon, Palestine, Yemen, and Iraq.
- We consider the United States complicit in any aggression, violation, or attack carried out by the Zionist regime against the Islamic Republic of Iran and its interests, and we will respond decisively.
- While expressing gratitude and appreciation for the sacrifices and devotion of all members of the armed forces, popular mobilisation forces, and tribal communities, we remain ready and vigilant, and by the grace of God, will eliminate any possibility of error, deception, or surprise from the weak, bankrupt, and desperate American-Zionist enemies.
- We ask the aware, resilient, and ever-present people to continue, as before, their presence in the streets and public spaces in the coming nights, to discourage any attempts at unrest by the enemies of a powerful Iran and its brave nation."
and Israel. The emphasis on supporting resistance in countries like Lebanon and Palestine indicates a unified front against perceived external threats, which may heighten geopolitical risks, especially for oil prices and the FX market, as investors will likely respond to any military developments with caution.
