'Attackers will suffer great losses' - Iran army chief warns
Iranian Army Commander-in-Chief Amir Hatami has warned that any renewed military attack on Iran would result in heavier losses for its adversaries, as he inspected an exhibition of intercepted drones and missiles.
Footage released by Iranian state media on Thursday showed Hatami and military officials examining wreckage and equipment reportedly brought down by Iranian air defence forces during the conflict Tehran calls the Ramadan War.
“This exhibition carries an important message to the enemy: this land has soldiers who are prepared, vigilant, and ready to sacrifice themselves,” Hatami said.
He insisted that Iran's armed forces were now more determined and better prepared to defend the country against future attacks. Hatami also accused Iran's adversaries of using psychological warfare to portray themselves as militarily invincible.
“This enemy, which tries, through psychological warfare and a range of cognitive warfare tactics, to portray itself as invincible and powerful, is not so in reality,” he declared.

The army chief praised Iran's air defence forces for strengthening their capabilities since the conflict began. “If the enemy makes a mistake and attempts to launch another aggression, it will suffer even greater losses,” he warned.
The conflict began on February 28, 2026, following US and Israeli strikes on Iran.
