The IRGC-run Fars News Agency published the Khatam al-Anbiya statement, which warned that more severe measures could follow if aggression continues.

The Iranian military's Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters announced on Monday that it had concluded strikes on Israel, saying the operations were carried out in response to recent Israeli attacks in southern Lebanon, including Dahiyeh. The statement was published by the IRGC-run Fars News Agency.
The military added that the pause is conditional and warned of stronger action if hostilities continue.
Should the 'aggression and evils' continue, much more severe and crushing measures will be on the way.
President Masoud Pezeshkian wrote on X that Iran's priority is national security and the safety of its people. He said Iran will defend its rights with authority and will not retreat in the face of threat, adding that "diplomacy and defense are the two wings of national power." Pezeshkian also stressed: "We have neither abandoned the field nor the negotiating table."
