Deputy Inspector of Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, Brigadier General Asadi, says that Iran remains prepared for war and will never surrender, Press TV reports.

In a statement carried by Press TV, the military official said, “We have repeatedly stated that we have not yet revealed all our capabilities. We possess many options that we will utilise if necessary”.
