Iran has announced its readiness to continue fighting at any cost as the conflict with the United States and Israel entered its third day. Ali Larijani, head of Iran’s National Security Council, stated that Tehran is prepared for a long-term war. His remarks were reported by TRT World and shared through a post on social media platform X, where he emphasized Iran’s determination to defend its civilization and make its enemies regret their miscalculations.

Larijani asserted that unlike the United States, Iran has advanced with preparation for a long war. His statement signals that Tehran is not seeking to de-escalate but rather to sustain its defensive stance. Analysts cited in the report suggested that such rhetoric indicates a further rise in regional tensions across the Middle East.

The statement comes as the conflict continues to intensify, with Iran reaffirming its commitment to self-defense and signaling that it will not back down easily.
