Major-General Ali Abdollahi, the chief of staff of Iran’s armed forces, issued a warning on Tuesday regarding the country's defensive capabilities. Speaking during a visit to a military site, Abdollahi stated that Iran is prepared to deliver a "more forceful response" to any renewed attacks against the nation.

During the visit, which was reported by the state-affiliated Press TV, Abdollahi inspected a drone production facility. He praised the "readiness, motivation and innovative capabilities" of the Iranian military personnel involved in the project. The general emphasized that the facility serves as a testament to the advancements made by Iranian specialists in domestic military technology.

While the report highlights the general's rhetoric regarding defensive posture, it does not provide specific details on the nature of the "forceful response" or the specific threats the military is currently monitoring. The statement follows a period of heightened regional tensions, though the report focuses primarily on the domestic production of unmanned aerial vehicles as a deterrent measure.
