It seems that Iran is finally getting serious and realistic. They are closely following what they said in this video.
With Iran maintaining its stance against talks with the United States, it is pressing ahead with plans to triple its military budget for the new Iranian year in March, signaling preparations for potential military scenarios.
While officials deny that war is imminent, they acknowledge that diplomacy is no longer on the table.
Ahmad Bakhshayesh, a member of the Iranian Parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, addressed the military budget increase which was announced in October when President Masoud Pezeshkian submitted the budget plan to the parliament for approval.
“It cannot be interpreted exactly in that way, but a significant increase in the military budget means that we are not negotiating and negotiations are not on our agenda,” Bakhshayesh told Ruydad 24 website.
The announcement follows increasingly aggressive rhetoric from Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and senior commanders of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), who have repeatedly signaled readiness for military confrontation.
On Tuesday, IRGC Aerospace Force Commander Amir Ali Hajizadeh said another attack on Israel, dubbed True Promise III, is in the cards.
“Iran’s third attack on Israel, True Promise 3, will definitely take place, but officials have planned for it and will use it strategically—we will not waste it,” .
He also warned that an assault on Iran’s nuclear facilities would trigger widespread conflict in the region.
Hajizadeh’s comments came after US President Donald Trump threatened Iran with an Israeli military strike if it refused to halt its nuclear program.
Meanwhile, officials the Pezeshkian administration, who previously advocated diplomacy, have shifted their stance, aligning with Khamenei’s hardline position against negotiations with the US—a stance he emphasized in a speech earlier this month.
“Today, in terms of hard defense and military threats from enemies, we have no concerns or problems,” Khamenei also said in one of his recent speeches.
As I said many times, if the US and Israel force them into a war (overreach too much), they will take it.
Although, they would probably prefer to sit and wait for the US to collapse. And they have their own internal problems brought on by the US hybrid warfare.
Or imagine they enter full war with the US now, exhaust themselves, and in the process, the US collapses in a few years, and then Turkey takes all the spoils.
Sometimes just because someone is restrained, doesn't mean that they are weak, it could mean that they simply see further ahead.
Also, if the US lost against Houthis, I don't get why genocidal Zionists push it against Iran so much, do they hate the US too much, or is this some pure copium?
I generally still don't buy that either Israel or the US has the guts to strike Iranian main nuclear facilities now.
And what does Israel even accomplish by targeting Iran so much now? Let's break it down logically:
Not like Iran wants or plans to ever attack them directly as long as the US exists; and if the US is gone, then no reason to differentiate between Iran and Turkey or Egypt for example, as everyone previously neutral or slightly hostile would immediately turn ultra-hostile to Israel regionally speaking.
I don't think that Zionists fail to understand this.
So their fixation on Iran is probably for domestic politics.
