- Iran’s judiciary chief Gholamhossein Mohseni-Ejei said the country’s armed forces are in better condition than during two previous wars.
- His comments refer to the 12-day war in June 2025 and the US-‘Israel’ war that began on February 28, 2026.
Iranian Judiciary Chief Gholamhossein Mohseni-Ejei said the country’s armed forces are in a stronger condition than during previous conflicts, according to a post on X.
Mohseni-Ejei compared the current state of Iran’s military forces with their condition during two recent wars involving ‘Israel’ and the United States.
The first was the 12-day war in June 2025, when ‘Israel’ launched what it called Operation Rising Lion, with the United States later joining the campaign.
The second was the broader US-‘Israel’ military campaign that began on February 28, 2026, referred to by Washington as Operation Epic Fury and by ‘Israel’ as Operation Roaring Lion.
That conflict continued for roughly 100 days before the June 17 Memorandum of Understanding was signed.
Mohseni-Ejei did not provide specific military figures or evidence in the post to substantiate his assessment of the armed forces’ condition.
His comments come amid continued regional tensions and renewed focus on Iran’s military capabilities following the previous rounds of fighting.
