"Our dear military forces are doing their jobs with strength, and now, in terms of equipment and manpower, despite all the problems we have, they are stronger than when they [Israel and the US] attacked, Pezeshkian said. So, if they want to attack, they will naturally face a more decisive response. The president said that this war is unlike past ones."
"Israel and Iran engaged in a 12-day war in June, triggered by an unprecedented Israeli attack on Iranian military and nuclear sites, as well as civilian areas. The strikes caused more than 1,000 casualties, according to Iranian authorities. The US later joined the Israeli operation, bombing three Iranian nuclear sites. Washington's involvement brought a halt to negotiations with Tehran, which began in April, over its nuclear programme."
Iran describes the United States, Israel and Europe as waging a full-fledged war against Iran. The claim appears as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu prepares to meet US President Donald Trump and six months after Israeli and US strikes and reimposed UN-related sanctions by France, Germany and the United Kingdom. Iranian military forces are reported to be stronger now in equipment and manpower than during earlier attacks and are said to be prepared to deliver a more decisive response. The confrontation is characterized as more complex and difficult than the 1980–1988 Iran–Iraq war. The US and allies accuse Iran of seeking nuclear weapons, a charge Iran denies. A June 12-day conflict followed Israeli strikes on military, nuclear and civilian sites, causing more than 1,000 reported casualties, and US strikes on three nuclear sites halted nuclear negotiations that began in April.
