The spokesperson of the Iranian Army, Ekreminiya, announced that Iran has halted its retaliatory operations after the US stopped its attacks over the past two nights. Claiming that the US is in a strategic deadlock, the spokesperson stated that they are prepared for all scenarios, including a ground operation.
Iranian Army Spokesman Mohammad Ekraminia said that US attacks have stopped for the past two nights, and accordingly, their retaliation has also stopped.
"RETALIATION HAS STOPPED"
Speaking to Iranian state television, Ekraminia made statements regarding the latest developments in the US-Iran war.
Ekraminia said, "The US has stopped its attacks for the past two nights. Since our strategy is based on retaliation, Iran's counter-operations have also been halted."
"WASHINGTON IS WORN DOWN"
In response to a question about whether the US not carrying out attacks for the past two nights means a unilateral ceasefire, the Iranian spokesman replied, "It is not possible to say that the US side is yet following a clear strategy. However, the current picture shows that Washington is experiencing a deadlock and is worn down in its strategic decision-making process."
Claiming that the US is also evaluating the option of a ground operation, Ekraminia argued that due to the experience of the Iraq War, Iran's defense capacity, and the geopolitical conditions of the region, Washington knows that such a step would result in heavy costs.
"WE ARE READY FOR NEW SCENARIOS"
Stating that the halt of attacks for the past two nights may also stem from the US revising its strategic calculations, Ekraminia alleged that the US may have prepared new scenarios for the coming days, but the current conditions are not favorable for Washington.
Referring to possible scenarios ahead of the US, Ekraminia said that Washington may seek an exit strategy from the war, but this could be affected by the Israeli Prime Minister's visit to the US and Israel's stance.
Indicating that large-scale airstrikes or a ground operation are among the possibilities, the Iranian spokesman stated that the Iranian Armed Forces are ready for all scenarios.
