Iran’s defence ministry spokesperson Reza Talaei-Nik says that there are only two outcomes in the war: Washington accepting Iran’s demands, or facing defeat on the battlefield.

In a post on X, Talaei-Nik says Iran’s military capabilities exceed that of US President Donald Trump and Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth’s statistics.

“Our defence capabilities have been strengthened, and the outcome of the war is clear: either acceptance of Iran’s legitimate demands, or the enemy’s surrender on the battlefield,” he writes.
