Iran’s Army threatened on Tuesday to open new fronts using new tools and methods if a new aggression is waged on the Islamic Republic.

Brigadier General Mohammad Akraminia, the spokesman for the Iranian Army, made the remarks during a public gathering at Valiasr Square in Tehran, according to the public relations department of Iran’s army.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran cannot be blockaded or defeated,” General Akraminia said.

“If the enemy commits another folly and falls into the Zionists’ trap again, and launches another aggression against our dear Iran, we will open new fronts against them with new tools and methods.”

The spokesman also presented a report on the measures of Iran’s Armed Forces, particularly the Army, and said that the Army has treated the ceasefire period as a time of war, using the opportunity to strengthen its combat power.

General Akraminia said the Armed Forces have full command over the Strait of Hormuz and that the situation in the strategic waterway will never return to its previous state.

“The only way for the enemy is to respect the Iranian nation and observe the legitimate rights of the Islamic Republic of Iran,” he added.

The remarks by the Iranian general echoed those made by senior military adviser to the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution in Iran Major General Mohsen Rezaei warned on Sunday that Tehran could confront the United States over its naval blockade, cautioning that the Sea of Oman could turn into a “graveyard” for US vessels if tensions continue to rise.
