A military source speaking to Tasnim notes that "Iran is prepared for a long-term war with the Zionist regime and to strike American interests, and sufficient and necessary measures have been fully considered for this matter."
- "He emphasized: If the Israelis and Americans think they can make Iran and the Resistance Front predictable or limit Iran's response through "controlled tension" in the face of their crimes, they are making a foolish mistake."
- "This military source noted: Iran will raise the level of tension and the scale of punishment against the Israelis to such an extent that they will regret continuing their crimes. The coming days will show that the calculations of the Israelis and Americans are always wrong."
- "He stressed that Iran has always shown it does not abandon its friends in the Resistance Front, and said: Americans must also realize that they cannot shirk the burden of the crimes of their rabid dog, Israel. Americans will pay a price in this regard, and theatrics like the separation of Israeli fronts from America are merely propaganda and deceptive, and Iran will not allow America to stage such a show."
