Iran has announced that it has entered a new phase in its confrontation with the US and Israel.
According to Modern.az, Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Qaribabadi stated that Tehran is currently entering the “third phase” of the conflict.
According to Qaribabadi, there have been three phases so far: the first phase was a 12-day war, and the second phase was internal unrest that occurred just seven months after the war. In his opinion, the current processes in the region mark the beginning of a new phase of confrontation. The Deputy Head of the Iranian Foreign Ministry noted that although tactics may change, the opposing side will also face failure in this phase, just as in the previous ones.
Qaribabadi emphasized that Iran would give an “appropriate response” even to a limited strike.
Meanwhile, according to information circulating on social networks, at least ten government aircraft from Middle Eastern countries have been recorded taking off. This is interpreted by some observers as a possible evacuation of diplomatic personnel. Official bodies have not yet confirmed this information.
It should be recalled that today, US President Donald Trump again threatened Iran.
"A huge armada is heading towards Iran. It is moving swiftly, with great power, enthusiasm, and purpose. This fleet, just like in Venezuela, is ready, eager, and capable of carrying out its mission with great speed and might if needed in relation to Iran. We hope that Iran will soon sit down at the negotiating table for a fair, equitable, nuclear-free agreement that satisfies all parties. Time is important, this is truly important! As I once told Iran, MAKE A DEAL! They did not, and the "Midnight Hammer" operation was launched, resulting in serious destruction for Iran. The next attack will be worse! Do not let this happen again", - the US President noted.
