Iran has reaffirmed its wariness of regional adversaries and emphasized the readiness of its armed forces to defend national interests, Fatemeh Mohajerani said on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
In a televised interview reported by Iranian media, Mohajerani stated that Iran \u201ccontinues to distrust its enemies\u201d and that the country\u2019s military, including its missile forces, remains fully prepared to protect the nation amid ongoing regional tensions.<\/p>\n
She highlighted the strategic significance of the Strait of Hormuz, asserting Tehran\u2019s responsibility for safeguarding the crucial maritime chokepoint through which a significant portion of the world\u2019s oil shipments pass. Mohajerani described control over the Strait as central to Iran\u2019s security posture and a core element of its regional defense strategy.<\/p>\n
The spokesperson\u2019s remarks come in the context of heightened international focus on the Gulf, following recent U.S.\u2013Iran tensions and the temporary ceasefire arrangement mediated with Pakistan\u2019s assistance. Mohajerani\u2019s comments signal that Tehran is maintaining a cautious and defensive stance even as diplomatic efforts are underway to de-escalate the situation.<\/p>\n
Iran\u2019s emphasis on military readiness and strategic control reflects longstanding policies aimed at safeguarding national sovereignty, protecting critical infrastructure, and asserting regional influence.<\/p>\n
Analysts note that Tehran\u2019s statements are likely intended to reinforce deterrence while preserving leverage in ongoing diplomatic engagements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
