Summary
Yahya Rahim Safavi, a senior adviser to Iran’s supreme leader, said Sunday that Iran is “at full strength and ready” and that adversaries were wrong to think it could be defeated within days.
Trump’s renewed prospect of a strike against Iran prompted the warning, with Safavi signaling that public support and the armed forces remain firm despite mounting pressure.
Safavi also used the remarks to praise Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei as “brave and powerful,” underscoring the leadership’s effort to project unity and resolve.
The statement adds to a fast-worsening standoff after U.S. officials warned Iran may be planning attacks and Tehran suspected possible U.S. or Israeli action.
