Cu 24 de ore înainte de expirarea acordului între SUA și Iran, armata iraniană anunță că vrea „înfrângerea completă” a americanilor
Iranian armed forces declared they will not yield to the United States until achieving their complete defeat, just before a 60-day deadline for peace negotiations. This statement was made on the anniversary of the return of prisoners from the Iran-Iraq war. The Iranian military emphasized their commitment to defending the legitimate rights of the Iranian people and their supreme leader, without detailing these demands. Despite a June agreement to cease military operations, hostilities resumed in July after accusations of attacks on commercial vessels. Both sides have since blamed each other for violating the memorandum.
