Iran’s Revolutionary Guards and senior officials are escalating their rhetoric, declaring that “there is no ceasefire — war can resume at any moment.” The statements come just weeks after Operation Rising Lion in Iran, as both Tehran and Israel brace for possible renewed conflict.

Meanwhile, Israel has carried out surprise military drills simulating Iranian missile barrages, highlighting the growing risk of another round of fighting. Analysts say Iran’s threats are aimed not only at Israel, but also at the West, as nuclear negotiations with the U.S. remain stalled.
