The Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated the US attack on an Iranian merchant ship and the hostage-taking of the crew and their families.

In recent decades, the focus of some countries, including Iran, has shifted from investing heavily in advanced air forces to developing missile capabilities, a shift that has become a major topic in defense studies. This choice is rooted in the logic of military doctrines, technological limitations, and economic considerations.

The Commander of the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced in a message: I traveled to Baghdad to convey the Iranian and the Islamic Republic of Iran's appreciation and gratitude for the empathy and support of the people and the officials of Iraq.

The commander of the IRGC Aerospace Force said: During the ceasefire, our speed in updating and replenishing missile and drone launch pads is even faster than before the war; but the enemy is incapable of creating these conditions for himself.
