Direct clashes against American and Israeli troops have granted Tehran's military operational experience and bolstered its resolve since hostilities commenced in February. Army officials warn that their defensive posture now carries no geographical boundaries under directives issued by the Supreme Leader. Consequently, the strategic maritime corridor in the Persian Gulf faces prolonged disruption until American leadership yields to Iranian diplomatic terms. Army spokesman Mohammad Akraminia announced through state media that any future counterstrikes ordered by the leadership will be executed immediately and effectively.
