Iran: Iran will immediately and decisively respond to any threat or aggression by the enemy, a defense ministry spokesperson says, warning that the United States and Israel must accept Tehran's legitimate rights either on the battlefield or through diplomacy.

According to Islamic Republic News Agency, Brigadier General Reza Talaei-Nik stated on Tuesday that any enemy attack would be met with a 'decisive, final, and regretful' response. He emphasized that the American-Israeli enemy must submit to the legitimate and definitive rights of the Iranian people, whether on the battlefield or in diplomacy. Brigadier General Talaei-Nik warned that without securing the rational, legitimate, and definitive rights of the Iranian nation, the enemy cannot escape the quagmire it has fallen into.

Talaei-Nik further asserted that if the enemy does not yield to Iran's just and definitive demands in the diplomatic arena, it should anticipate further military defeats. He predicted the repeatability of the enemy's defeats on the battlefield based on regional realities and past trends, maintaining that the Iranian nation will remain the ultimate victor in this imposed war. Iran has demonstrated its capacity and ability to defend the rights of the Iranian people in both diplomacy and warfare.

The spokesperson also noted the repeated retreat of US vessels and aircraft carriers from the conflict zone. This, he argued, reflects the resolve and capability of Iran's Armed Forces, including the IRGC and Army forces.
