Iran's Army will open new fronts against any enemy that launches fresh aggression against the country, according to a senior military official.
Brigadier General Mohammad Akraminia, spokesman for Iran's Army, made the statement during a public gathering at Vali-e Asr Square in Tehran on Monday. "If the enemy commits another folly and falls into the Zionists' trap again, and launches another aggression against our dear Iran, we will open new fronts against them with new tools and methods," Akraminia said, according to the Army's public relations department.
Akraminia also stated that the Islamic Republic of Iran cannot be blockaded or defeated. He presented a report on measures taken by Iran's Armed Forces, particularly the Army, during the current period.
According to Akraminia, the Army has treated the ceasefire period as a time of war, using the opportunity to strengthen its combat capabilities.
