Iran, through the army chief Amir Hatami, has declared that it is prepared to respond to any foreign attack, in the context of tensions with the USA and the increase of its arsenal with 1000 drones.

Amir Hatami, the head of the Iranian army, announced that Iran is prepared to offer a "crushing response" to any foreign attack, especially in light of recent threats from American President Donald Trump. He emphasized that Iran's military arsenal has been strengthened with 1,000 drones, in the context of the worsening relations with the United States, which has deployed the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier near the Iranian coast.

Trump has threatened Iran with military action amid internal protests and has called for the resumption of discussions for a nuclear deal favorable to the U.S., while also promoting regime change in Tehran. Iran responded with a statement from its mission to the UN, stating that it is open to negotiations but will not yield to military pressures. Additionally, the European Union has designated Iran's Revolutionary Guard as a terrorist organization, imposing sanctions for actions repressing internal protests.
