"Expect More Destructive Blows" Iran Rejects Trump's Claim, Signals Hidden Capabilities

Iran’s latest military warning underscores Tehran’s insistence that its strategic assets remain intact, signaling continued escalation in a war that began on February 28.

In response to U.S. President Donald Trump saying Iran had “very few” missile launchers remaining and that its ability to launch drones and missiles had been “dramatically curtailed,” spokesperson for Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters Ebrahim Zolfaghari rejected the assessment, stating Trumps is “completely ignorant” od Iran’s “enormous strategic capabilities.”

According to Iran’s state broadcaster Fars News agency, Iran dismissed claims that its military infrastructure had been destroyed, including missile production centers, long-range drones, air defense systems, and electronic warfare assets, as per Trump’s claims.

“Do not think that you have destroyed our strategic missile production centers,” the spokesperson said, adding that production continues in undisclosed locations. “Our strategic military production is taking place in places you do not know and will never be able to reach.”

Tehran warned that the scale of its attacks would increase following earlier strikes across the region. “After the powerful and unbelievable blows you have received so far, expect from us actions that are stronger, wider, (and) more destructive,” the spokesperson said.

He added that the war would continue until adversaries “wither, are humiliated, regret completely, and surrender,” reflecting a hardened public posture.

Trump had signaled further escalation in his address Wednesday, stating: “We are going to hit them extremely hard over the next 2–3 weeks.”

He added: “If there is no deal, we are going to hit each and every one of their electric generating plants very hard.”

He also warned the US would “bring them back to the Stone Ages,” framing the conflict as approaching an endpoint even as military pressure intensifies.

Since February 28, the war has resulted in more than 1,340 deaths, including then-Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Iran has launched missile and drone strikes targeting Israel, Jordan, Iraq, and Gulf states hosting US military assets.

The conflict has disrupted aviation and global markets while expanding geographically, with multiple fronts emerging across the region.
