  • Iran is fully prepared for a multi-front war and will respond without limits, a senior security official stated.
  • Tehran views the U.S. and Israel as a unified enemy, dismissing independent action by either.
  • Recent threats from U.S. and Israeli leaders grant Iran a "legal and moral permit" for defense, according to the official.
  • A permanent ceasefire with the U.S. requires fulfillment of seven conditions, including lifting sanctions.
  • The "Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding" outlines demands for ending wars and sanctions in exchange for opening the Strait of Hormuz.

A senior Iranian security official stated on Wednesday that Iran has completed its preparations for a "comprehensive, multi-layered, and extensive war." Speaking to Iran's state-run Press TV, the source indicated that Tehran has made a "final decision" to respond to any aggression or assassination by its enemies "without any limits or restraint." The official added that the armed forces are prepared to "crush with full force" the interests and targets of attackers and their supporters in the Middle East.

Iran views the United States and Israel as a unified entity, the official asserted, dismissing the notion that either would act independently against Tehran as a "bitter joke." According to the source, recent explicit threats from American and Israeli leaders, particularly months before elections in both countries, have provided Iran with the "legal and moral permit" to take all necessary defensive measures, following two "imposed wars" that began in June of last year and February of this year.

Concurrently, Iranian leadership is clarifying that a permanent ceasefire with Washington is contingent on the fulfillment of seven conditions. Mohsen Rezaee, Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, declared that no negotiations with the U.S. will occur until it takes confidence-building measures and fully meets Tehran's demands. Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, in a meeting with Pakistan's Chief of Army Staff General Asim Munir, stated that the U.S. is "bogged down due to miscalculations and going to war, and now it is the one that needs to take the necessary steps to get out of it."

These demands are based on the "Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding," a 14-point document signed by the presidents of Iran and the U.S. in June. Under this agreement, Washington is required to end the war on all fronts and lift sanctions and the blockade imposed on Iran, in exchange for Iran's gradual opening of the Strait of Hormuz. Iran had previously taken control of the strategic Persian Gulf waterway in March, at the outset of what it described as American-Israeli aggression.
