Iran's armed forces central headquarters commander, Abdolrahim Hatamabadi, responded on the 4th to the "48-hour" ultimatum issued by U.S. President Trump, emphasizing that the Iranian military will firmly defend national rights, protect national assets, and make aggressors pay the price.
Xinhua News Agency, Tehran, April 4th - Abdollahi, commander of the central headquarters of the Hataam Ambiya Armed Forces of Iran, responded on the 4th to the "48-hour" ultimatum issued by US President Trump, emphasizing that the Iranian military will firmly defend national rights and protect national assets, making aggressors pay the price.
Iran's Islamic Republic Broadcasting TV reported that Abdollahi said that after continuous failures, Trump made "helpless, panicked, imbalanced, and foolish actions," attempting to threaten Iran's infrastructure and national assets.
Abdollahi emphasized that if the US and Israel launch such attacks, "we will launch continuous and destructive strikes against all US military infrastructure and Israeli infrastructure without restriction." He reminded the US and Israel that since the start of this imposed war on Iran, "what we have said has been put into action."
Earlier that day, Trump posted on social media, demanding Iran to "reach an agreement" or "open the Strait of Hormuz" within 48 hours, threatening that "time is running out - they only have 48 hours left before disaster strikes them."
Trump announced on March 26th that the "destruction" of Iranian energy facilities would be postponed for 10 days, with a deadline extended to April 6th at 8:00 PM Eastern Time.
