Tehran, June 11: Amid rising regional tensions, Iran’s Defense Minister has issued a stark warning, stating that Iran is fully prepared for war and that any potential conflict would have serious consequences for its adversaries.

“If war breaks out, the other side will certainly suffer more casualties than us,” said the Minister, adding that “the United States will be forced to leave the region.”

In a show of military strength, the Defense Minister further revealed that Iran successfully tested a missile last week equipped with a 2-ton warhead, signaling Tehran’s growing missile capabilities.

The statement comes at a time of increasing friction between Iran and Western forces in the region, raising concerns over a possible military escalation.
