Iran’s army chief says Israeli threats remainStaff WritersReutersSun, 3 August 2025 3:59PM
The commander-in-chief of Iran’s military, Amir Hatami, says threats from Israel persist, according to state media.
Israel and the US launched strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities in June during the so-called 12-day war, in which Tehran retaliated against Israel with several barrages of missiles and drones.
“A one per cent threat must be perceived as a 100 per cent threat,” Hatami said, according to the official IRNA news agency.
“We should not underestimate the enemy and consider its threats as over.”
He said the Islamic Republic’s missile and drone power “remains standing and ready for operations”.
In July, Israeli Minister of Defence Israel Katz warned his country would strike Iran again if threatened.
