"Ali Abdollahi, commander of the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, stated that Iran's armed forces are ready to deliver an immediate and decisive response to any renewed hostile action by its adversaries, asserting that Tehran has the upper hand militarily, particularly in managing the Strait of Hormuz."
"The Iranian parliamentary speaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, warned that Iran would not attend negotiations while under threat and indicated that the country is prepared to reveal new cards on the battlefield, emphasizing a strong stance against external pressures."
"Fatih Birol, head of the International Energy Agency, described the current energy crisis as the worst in history, combining the effects of the petrol and gas crises, and stated that it would take about two years to recover the energy output lost in the Middle East due to the ongoing conflict."
Iran's military is ready to respond immediately to any renewed threats from adversaries, emphasizing its control over the Strait of Hormuz. The commander stated that Iran would not allow false narratives to be created regarding the situation. Despite briefly opening the strait, it was closed again due to the US counter-blockade. Iran's parliamentary speaker indicated that the country would not engage in peace talks under threat and warned of revealing new strategies. The ongoing US-Israel conflict is contributing to a significant global energy crisis, according to the IEA.
