Tensions escalated on Thursday as Iran’s army commander-in-chief, Amir Hatami, emphasized the need for constant vigilance and preparedness against 'enemy movements'. According to state media, Hatami underlined the importance of monitoring with 'utmost pessimism and accuracy' to counter any potential attacks.
In contrast, U.S. President Donald Trump expressed optimism, stating the conflict with Iran could conclude in a matter of weeks. However, the incremental deployment of additional U.S. troops in the Gulf has heightened concerns of an impending ground operation preparation.
In a meeting shown by state media, Hatami declared that no enemy troops should survive any attempted ground actions. The footage, whose date remains unverified by Reuters, illustrates ongoing military deliberations among top Iranian officers.
