TEHRAN — Iran has raised its military preparedness to the highest level, according to an Iranian official cited by Mehr News on September 20.
The official said Iran has prepared response plans spanning air, ground and naval domains, which the official described as enabling a "heavy, broad and surprising" response to United States and Israeli military forces and interests.
