TEHRAN, April 2 (Xinhua) -- Iran's main military command, Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, said on Thursday the war will continue until the "enemies" surrender, according to the semi-official Fars news agency.
The headquarters spokesman Ebrahim Zolfaghari warned of "more crushing, expanded and devastating actions" in response to the U.S. and Israeli attacks.
Zolfaghari accused the United States and Israel of possessing incomplete intelligence on Iran's military power and capabilities, stressing, "You know nothing of our very expanded and strategic capacities."
He added that the "enemies" do not have any information of and would never be able to target Iran's strategic military production sites and "must pay the price" for their "aggression."
Echoing the sentiment, Iran's Defense Ministry spokesman Reza Talaei-Nik said on Thursday that the "enemy" has failed to "divide (Iran), topple the establishment, weaken the Iranian armed forces, sow discord in the country's national sovereignty, incite internal unrest, open the Strait of Hormuz and make the people abandon their resistance and defense."
Talaei-Nik vowed that Iranian forces, people, and the resistance front will continue punishing "enemies" until they secure reparations, destroy U.S. military bases in West Asia, force American troops to flee, achieve full surrender, and receive guarantees that wars will not be repeated against Iran.
On Feb. 28, Israel and the United States launched joint attacks on Tehran and several other Iranian cities, killing Iran's then Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, along with senior military commanders and civilians. Iran responded with waves of missile and drone strikes targeting Israel and U.S. assets in the Middle East, while tightening control over the Strait of Hormuz by restricting passage by vessels belonging to or affiliated with Israel and the United States. ■
