Asked about the possible surprises by Iran’s Armed Forces for the enemies, General Ebn al-Reza said on Friday, “We should not talk about the surprises now, but Iranian knowledge, the Iranian youth, and the things being carried out in the defense industries will, God willing, bring good surprises.”

“Everyone, and especially the enemies, should know that they will become aware of Iran’s surprises in due time,” the caretaker defense minister added.

In a separate message on Thursday, General Ebn al-Reza said Iran has changed the regional balance of power through its actions on the battlefield and demonstrated that the era of “hit-and-run,” military deployments from across the oceans and threats is over.

“The ridiculous media show does not change the reality on the battlefield or the victorious side,” he noted.

He also urged the adversaries to “read Iran’s history spanning thousands of years” to understand that they must speak to the Iranian nation with the “language of respect.”
