Tehran:Brigadier General Abolfazl Shekarchi, a senior spokesperson for Iran's Armed Forces, asserted that Iran's deterrence capabilities have significantly improved, equipping the nation to respond decisively to any new aggression. This statement comes amidst ongoing anti-Iran threats and rhetoric from perceived adversaries.

According to Islamic Republic News Agency, Shekarchi emphasized the enhancement of Iran's defensive measures, citing experiences from US-Israeli-imposed wars as instrumental in this process. He indicated that the Iranian Armed Forces are prepared to escalate their military actions tenfold, should the situation necessitate such a response.

Shekarchi also highlighted that the current state of Iran's Armed Forces is notably superior compared to the period of the first US-Israeli conflict. Throughout the hostilities, Iran maintained a consistent production of strategic equipment and weaponry, which has contributed to its advanced defensive posture.

The spokesperson further mentioned that any potential weaknesses have been promptly addressed, with continuous efforts to advance and enhance Iran's military capabilities. He issued a stern warning that both material and immaterial assets of the United States, which Iran considers its primary adversary, remain within the reach of Iranian military power and are designated as potential targets.
