Iran's Pezeshkian Touts Military Strength After US Strikes Southern Iran

🎖️ TEHRAN — Praising weapons after absorbing strikes is a mobilization signal, not defiance. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Pezeshkian controls civilian optics; praising military capability post-strike hands the IRGC public mandate to respond. The "ceasefire violation" framing legally releases Tehran from restraint obligations. With IRGC sailors already killed, hardliners now hold both the grievance and the president's endorsement. Watch for Hormuz mining orders within 48 hours.
