Advisor to Iran's supreme leader Rezai said on the 3rd via social media that
Iran will not accept excessive US demands in negotiations or any ceasefire and
will respond to every shelling or aggression with heavy missile and drone
strikes. The Khatam al-Anbia Central Command said in a separate statement that
recent US and Israeli military actions have exposed “fake human-rights”
defenders” and blamed them for the killing of more than 160 children at Minab
Primary School, calling that one of hundreds of alleged crimes. The command said
Iranians will not yield to threats, will defend national sovereignty, and that
the US and Israel have no choice but to surrender to Iran’s armed forces and
people.
