Iran's armed forces chief says military is 'fully prepared' for US-Israel attack

Iranian armed forces chief of staff Major-General Amir Hatami stated that Iran's military is fully prepared, vigilant, and ready to confront any potential renewed attack from the United States or Israel, as Tehran-Washington tensions escalate ahead of the UN General Assembly.

Why this matters. The statement signals Iran is bracing for a possible resumption of US-Israeli strikes even as its president and foreign minister travel to New York for UN diplomacy, raising the risk that a diplomatic opening could be undercut by military posturing.
