Iran’s Defense Ministry spokesman said the country’s military capabilities have improved significantly after the 12-day conflict earlier this year, stating that Israel is now more vulnerable to Iran’s offensive power.
Brigadier General Reza Talaei-Nik, Deputy Minister of Strategic Planning and Parliamentary Affairs and ministry spokesman, said Iran’s military preparedness, weaponry and operational capabilities have advanced compared to the period before the conflict with the US-Israeli coalition in June.
“The enemy, despite 15 years of preparation to attack Iran, failed during the imposed 12-day war,” said General Talaei-Nik.
“If you dare to threaten again, you will face even greater failure than before.”
He added that Iran’s increased defensive preparedness has been accompanied by an increase in the adversary’s susceptibility to Iran’s offensive capabilities.
According to him, the heavy losses suffered by Israel during the conflict make it unlikely that it will make another attack decision without reassessing its vulnerabilities.
“The enemy suffered a heavy blow in the 12-day war,” said General Talaei-Nik. “It is unlikely that this could trigger the resolution of a new aggression again.”
The Ministry of Defense reiterated that Iran continues to strengthen its defensive and deterrent power.
