Military researchers recently finalized 'surprise weapons' for upcoming conflicts, a senior official confirmed this on Wednesday to the Tehran Times.

From Karaj, Hojatoleslam Seyyed Ziaeddin Aghajanpour of the Defense Ministry rebuked US President Donald Trump. "We will never bow to your bullying," he noted, according to the Tehran Times.

Rejecting Washington's demands, Aghajanpour emphasized that national resilience deters threats. Any ongoing aggression will invite strikes against Israel and American assets, the Tehran Times reported, utilizing missiles capable of reaching outside the Middle East.

Separately, IRGC Ground Forces Commander Brigadier General Mohammad Karami visited the Persian Gulf islands Thursday to discuss military readiness. "The proud people of Iran and the Resistance Front will not back down even an inch in the face of the enemy. We have firm faith in divine guidance, grace, and promises. The Iranian people and the Resistance Front will emerge victorious in this arena, and the future belongs to the noble religion of Islam," he declared to the Tehran Times.
