Iran warned on Saturday that its armed forces had rebuilt their capabilities during the ceasefire and would respond forcefully if the United States resumed military action, as fresh diplomatic efforts unfolded in Tehran amid fears of another regional escalation.
Speaking during meetings with Pakistan’s army chief Asim Munir in Tehran, Iran’s parliament speaker and top negotiator Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said: “Our armed forces have rebuilt themselves during the ceasefire.” He also insisted that Tehran “will not compromise on the rights of our nation and country”.
