Tehran vows resistance to US-Israeli military pressure
Shafaq News- Tehran
Iran warned on Tuesday that the United States and Israel can no longer launch a war against Tehran “whenever they want and end it whenever they want,” as military strikes, drone attacks, and cross-border clashes intensify across the Middle East.
In a statement, Iran’s Khatam Al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, the unified command overseeing the country’s military bodies, noted that the determination of Iran’s leadership, its people, and its armed forces to retaliate against their enemies remains stronger than ever. The command also stressed that the spread of “false information” would not weaken Tehran’s resolve.
In the city of Khomein in central Iran, local media reported that a school came under attack. The damage extended to nearby homes, though the scale of casualties remains unclear.
The US Central Command reported extensive strikes against Iranian targets. In a post on X, the Command indicated that more than 5,000 targets inside Iran have been struck since the beginning of the war on February 28.
Fifty Iranian vessels were also destroyed, it added, noting that Iran may attempt to conceal its missile launch platforms, with Washington vowing to continue searching for them until their complete destruction.
