Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei, the head of Iran’s judiciary, stated that Tehran needs to “ensure complete preparedness” for potential new US attacks, as reported in a video by Fars, a media outlet linked to the Iranian state.
Ejei stated that there is a “significant chance” of additional attacks, noting that the US has not met its war goals, even after eliminating numerous high-ranking Iranian officials.
In another video shared by Fars, Ejei stated that Iran will react to the US capture of the Iranian-flagged cargo vessel in the Gulf of Oman on Sunday, labeling it a “breach” of the ceasefire.
“The naval blockade that (the US is) discussing is certainly a blatant infringement, and the Islamic Republic will certainly react,” he stated.
