An Iranian military spokesperson issued a direct warning to US President Donald Trump on Tuesday, saying the outcome of any conflict "cannot be determined by tweets" but only on the battlefield – a place he claimed American forces "do not dare to approach." Ebrahim Zolfaghari, spokesperson for Iran's Khatam al-Anbia air defense base, also said "enemy air defenses" had suffered serious damage, warning the adversary had reached "the edge of a precipice." He added the strikes reflected the "definite will" of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyed Mojtaba Khamenei and the Iranian people. Iran also launched fresh attacks on the United Arab Emirates, targeting a key US ally in the Gulf as tensions continue to escalate.
