Tehran, April 29 (ANI): Iran’s Army has said the conflict in West Asia is “still considered a war” despite a ceasefire agreement with the United States, asserting that its forces remain on high alert and in operational control of key strategic areas.
According to Iran’s state broadcaster, Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB), Army spokesperson Amir Akraminia said military preparedness continues, with operational plans updated to address evolving threats.
“The situation is still considered a war, and the bank of objectives and equipment for the forces has been updated,” Akraminia said, indicating continued readiness.
He stated that the Strait of Hormuz is under coordinated control of Iran’s armed forces, with the western section managed by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and the eastern section overseen by the regular army.
The Strait of Hormuz remains one of the world’s most critical oil transit routes, making its control central to regional and global security dynamics.
Akraminia said adversaries had refrained from launching a ground offensive, attributing this to the preparedness of Iran’s military.
“The enemy did not dare to attack Iran on land,” he said, citing the high readiness of ground forces and coordination with the IRGC.
He added that Iranian forces had anticipated possible escalation based on intelligence inputs and had deployed units across the country in advance.
“All units were in full readiness. Ground forces were deployed in various parts of the country, ready to confront any threat,” he said.
Referring to a recent military engagement, Akraminia claimed that Iranian forces responded swiftly to a perceived threat by targeting a U.S. aircraft, which he said led to the failure of an operation.
The remarks come amid a fragile ceasefire in the conflict between Iran and the United States, which began on February 28, with a truce announced on April 7.
Separately, Iranian official Mohammad Hossein Ziyaeenia expressed confidence in the country’s position, stating that Iran would prevail in the conflict and highlighting public support for the government and military. (ANI)
