The 1982 liberation of Khorramshahr from the US-backed Ba'athist regime became Iran’s defining symbol of resistance and unity, a spirit that reemerged in the recent US-Israeli war of aggression against Iran.

Iran says its views are converging with the United States on a 14-point memorandum aimed at halting the US-Israeli-imposed war, unlocking Tehran’s frozen assets, and ending American maritime piracy.

Iranian leadership has reaffirmed the country’s military preparedness and political cohesion, warning that any new act of aggression by the US or its allies will be met with a “decisive and crushing” response.

Iran will not allow the United States to escape the crisis it created without paying reparations for decades of damage, a senior advisor to the Leader of Islamic Revolution said.

Iran has entered a new phase of strategic confidence, while the Trump administration struggles to contain its military, diplomatic, and political failures at home and abroad in the wake of the recent war.

Tens of millions of Iranians, including students, women, and officials, have joined the ‘Janfada’ campaign in recent weeks, registering readiness to defend the nation against US-Israeli aggression.

Iran has moved to redefine the balance of power, with the Leader of the Islamic Revolution declaring the start of a “new chapter” in the management of the Strait of Hormuz even as US pressure wanes.
