Iran's Response to US Threats

The Iranian military is firm: the duration and conclusion of any conflict rests solely with Iran. "You started it, we will finish it," officials have stated, reinforcing their position.

Ebrahim Zolfaghari directly addressed President Trump, dismissing the influence of social media in determining the outcome of a potential war. The focus, according to Iran, remains on the battlefield.
