Iran's Deputy Chief of Staff of the Army, Haidari, has issued a direct threat against Israel and the United States, stating that Iran's "target bank" has been expanded beyond the Middle East. According to the WANA news agency, Haidari revealed details about underground missile and drone cities, asserting that Tehran is prepared to attack American and Israeli bases and is determined to retaliate against former President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu. He emphasized that any aircraft attacking Iran would make its country of origin a legitimate target for a counterattack.

Haidari further explained that new underground cities are not solely for storage but also house production lines, functioning as integrated industrial and military centers. Additionally, a dedicated drone city for the army has been announced. He boasted that Iran's defense systems have previously intercepted approximately 300 aerial vehicles.

The Iranian officer also claimed that Iran has severely damaged the operational capabilities of a US destroyer and warship, forcing American forces to retreat 500 kilometers from Iran's coast. The WANA report also alleged that Iranian forces attacked the Al-Azraq Air Base in Jordan for three consecutive nights, destroying strategic American aircraft on the ground, as well as radar and air defense systems.

Haidari reiterated that the Strait of Hormuz, which was blocked by the Revolutionary Guards' navy, will remain closed until further orders. He assured that defense production continues at full capacity, supported by 1,700 local technology companies replacing imported equipment.
