An Iranian military spokesperson said on Friday that Iran is formulating the conditions for ending the ongoing war with Israel and the United States.
The spokesperson also warned the two countries that Iran possesses formidable strength and a decisive advantage on the battlefield, capable of determining the final outcome of the war, and that the United States and Israel will be 'forced' to accept this reality.
The spokesperson noted that the United States and Israel have fully recognized the strength of Iran's armed forces and its people in actual combat, advising them to face the facts and promptly return to reason in a timely manner.
The U.S.-Israel-Iran conflict has lasted a month since the United States and Israel launched coordinated airstrikes against Iran on Feb 28, with Iran responding with a series of attacks on Israeli and U.S. targets across the Middle East.
