- Iran's top security official said military operations will continue until what he described as the enemy's "complete surrender."
- He claimed US military, security, and financial facilities remain targets of Iranian strikes.
- Zolghadr said the campaign is partly driven by retaliation for civilian casualties in southern Iranian towns.
- Iranian officials signaled no intention of halting operations in the near term.
Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr, Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, warned that targeted military strikes will persist until enemy forces reach a state of complete surrender.
In an official statement carried by Iranian media, Zolghadr framed the ongoing missile and drone attacks as direct retaliation against American military and economic interests across the Middle East.
"Every column of smoke in the region means a US military, security, or financial center has been targeted," Zolghadr said, describing the military operations as the direct response of the Iranian populace against external aggression.
Vow of retaliation
Zolghadr emphasized that the offensive campaign will not cease until Iran exacts retribution for lives lost during the conflict, explicitly citing civilian casualties in southern Iranian municipalities.
"The continuous and targeted launches by our fighters are the whips of anger from the risen nation of Iran, descending upon the back of the hegemony system," Zolghadr stated.
He added that operations would continue "until the complete surrender of the enemy and avenging the blood of the innocent children of Minab, Lamerd, and other cities, by the grace of God."
The top security chief's remarks come amid continued regional exchanges involving US installations and Iranian military infrastructure, signaling Tehran's firm stance against diplomatic concessions during the current operational phase.
