The Commander-in-Chief of the Islamic Republic of Iran warned that Iran will not tolerate the escalation of threats by its enemies, stating that the Islamic Republic considers the intensification of hostile rhetoric against the Iranian nation a threat and will not leave its continuation unanswered, adding that if it persists, it will receive a decisive response.

Axar.az reports that Major General Hatami described popular protests as riots planned by enemies.

He also announced that the readiness of the armed forces has increased following the recent war, stressing that the army will defend the country’s security, independence, and territorial integrity with full force and will guarantee public security, according to the Fars News.

Hatami described the collapse of the Ottoman Empire and the establishment of Israel as among the actions of global powers in the West Asia region, saying that after Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, former US President Joe Biden stated that if this regime (Israel) did not exist, it would have to be created.

Referring to the current situation in Iran and some existing unrest, Hatami said that the riots are undoubtedly planned by enemies.
