Iran sharply rejected Donald Trump’s claims of weakening its military, warning the war will continue until the United States faces “permanent humiliation, regret, and surrender.” A spokesperson for the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters said US intelligence underestimates Iran’s “vast strategic capabilities,” including missile systems, drones, and air defences. Tehran accused Washington of initiating aggression and vowed intensified retaliation. The statement counters Trump’s assertion that Iran’s navy, air force, and leadership have been largely destroyed. As both sides escalate rhetoric, the conflict shows no immediate signs of de-escalation, raising concerns over prolonged instability in the region. (PC: X)
