The Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, Major General Mohsen Rezaei, reiterates that the country has not deployed all of its military capabilities and stresses that the war must end on terms that prevent another illegal aggression, according to state broadcaster Press TV.

In an interview with US-based investigative outlet DropSite News, he says that Tehran has new military capabilities to respond to new acts of aggression.

“We did not deploy all our capabilities in the previous stages. We brought more capabilities into operation in proportion to the intensity of the war, and we are also prepared for the next stage,” he adds.

Rezaei also notes that Iran has spent decades preparing for war with the US by focusing on dispersed production, underground facilities, different launch systems and the ability to repair damage and replace losses.

“Our goal is not to make it to 2029. Our goal is to end the war on terms that reduce the likelihood of another war,” he states.
