The Iranian military said it used the six-week cease-fire to strengthen its forces and is ready to respond if the United States or Israel restarts hostilities. Brig. Gen. Mohammad Akraminia, the military spokesman, told a pro-government rally at Tehran\u2019s Vali Asr Square on the 19th (local time) that \u201cthe military treated the cease-fire like wartime\u201d and \u201cused it as an opportunity to bolster our combat power.\u201d He warned that if \u201cthe enemy (the U.S.) again takes a reckless step, falls into the Zionists\u2019 (Israel\u2019s) trap and invades Iran, we will open new fronts with new tools and methods.\u201d He also said the Iranian military has secured full command of the Strait of Hormuz and stressed that the strategic waterway \u201cwill never return to its previous state.\u201d #IranianMilitary #War #StraitOfHormuz Yonhap News TV \u2014 tips and inquiries: KakaoTalk\/Line jebo23.
