According to Iran's Tasnim News Agency, Ibn Reza, acting minister of the Iranian Ministry of Defense and Armed Forces Logistics, stated: "It is Iranian missiles, not American bombs, that determine the situation. The name and size of the bombs are irrelevant." "Your bombs will explode elsewhere—impacting your international reputation, the American economy, and even your electoral landscape!" "It is our missile strength that has changed the situation, forcing you into a position where, from now on, you must say, 'Yes, sir!'"
