It continued its preparations by unilaterally extending the ceasefire."

Regarding the purpose of the US attacks on Iran's infrastructure and the country's southern coasts, Rezaei used the following statements: "The aim of this initiative is to divide the resistance in Iran and complete the naval blockade. Additionally, there is a possibility that the US is carrying out these attacks in preparation for an assault on Khark Island and nuclear facilities."
THIRD WORLD WAR WARNING Rezaei stated that the Iranian Armed Forces are also responding overwhelmingly to the US attacks as a whole.
