Tehran: The spokesman for Iran's army has revealed new details of the armed forces' response to the US aggression against Sirik Island in the early hours of Sunday, August 30. Brigadier General Mohammad Akraminia stated on Friday that the US is attempting to weaken or eliminate the Iranian Armed Forces' control over the Strait of Hormuz. However, the Army and the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) responded decisively to this aggression.

According to Islamic Republic News Agency, the spokesman emphasized the swift reaction of Iran's Armed Forces, noting that just 15 minutes after the aggression began, the first Iranian missiles and drones were launched, targeting four US bases in the UAE, Bahrain, and Kuwait. Akraminia said that the Army utilized highly effective Fat'h surface-to-surface missiles and Arash-2 combat drones in this operation.

He added that these missiles and drones were equipped with artificial intelligence and new systems, making them very difficult for the enemy to intercept, and they successfully struck their targets with ease. 'We are constantly working to modernize our equipment and had previously announced this,' he said.

Akraminia emphasized that Iran is now using asymmetric warfare tactics and combined tactics in its operations and has received very positive feedback from this approach, enabling it to hit targets with ease. The spokesman said that the Army and the IRGC, drawing on the experience of past wars, have entered this conflict with greater readiness, motivation, and confidence. 'Today, our forces fight the enemy with composure, high speed, and strong self-confidence.'

The Army spokesman said that Iran's military doctrine has gradually shifted toward preemptive operations since the 12-day war, based on available reasoning, which is also permissible under the UN Charter. He noted that the attacks on US bases in Jordan, Syria, and Iraq's Kurdistan region were among Iran's preemptive operations. 'This will continue. Whenever we sense a threat, we will carry out preemptive operations within the framework of international law to defend our rights.'

The Army spokesman further said, 'Given the facilitation of missile and drone routes toward the occupied territories, if the Zionist regime commits any aggression, it will certainly be targeted more easily, faster, and more decisively than before.'
