War will continue until 'full deterrence' is achieved: Iran army spokesman
Iran’s army spokesman says the war will continue until a “full” deterrence is achieved to prevent the enemies from daring to launch another aggression against the country.
"Rationality requires that the war continues to the point that leads to creating full deterrence for the Iranian nation," Brigadier General Mohammad Akraminia said on Monday.
“Otherwise, the enemy, through its miscalculations, will again conduct an aggression against the soil of [our] beloved Iran,” he added.
“Continuing the war until achieving full deterrence is not based on excitement and belligerence, but rather on experience and rationality,” he stated.
Elsewhere in his remarks, the spokesman warned the neighboring Arab countries against getting involved in the aggression against Iran.
He condemned the involvement of some Persian Gulf states, “which have benefited from the capacity of the Strait of Hormuz for years, selling billions of dollars of oil and importing goods,” in the US attacks against Iran as “unfair” and “unacceptable” action that cannot continue.
The spokesman warned that these countries will definitely face problems transiting through the Strait of Hormuz.
Stressing that the Iranian armed forces are the sole party that maintains control over the Strait of Hormuz, he stated, "It is not possible for equipment that can be used against the Iranian nation to pass through the Strait of Hormuz."
Over the past few days, the US military has conducted waves of deadly strikes on southern Iran and reinstated a blockade of Iranian ports in flagrant violation of a ceasefire deal signed last month.
In response, Iranian armed forces have launched heavy reprisal attacks against strategic American targets across the region, declaring the strategic waterway closed “until further notice” and at least until “the end of US interference in the region.”
Iranian authorities say at least 57 people have been killed and more than 500 injured in US strikes over the past three weeks.
