Iran's Army chief said, according to Press TV, that the enemy is far from invincible despite its efforts to project an image of overwhelming power, and that it would face heavier losses in case of a new attack on Iran. The same day, Press TV reported that Iran's Defense Ministry said the country's military capabilities surpass the figures touted by US President Donald Trump and War Secretary Pete Hegseth, and that the US should accept Iran's legitimate demands or face defeat on the battlefield. Both statements are conditional warnings rather than reports of fighting, and neither gave specific figures for Iran's capabilities. They come amid continuing public exchanges between Tehran and Washington over military strength.
