Iranian army spokesperson Mohammad Akraminia says the country plans to shift to an offensive position rather than a defensive one to protect itself from the threat of more US attacks, Al Jazeera reports.

He added that Iran conducted several “preemptive operations” in the last phase of the war, adding that an Iranian strike on a US base in Jordan was an effective deterrent for US attacks.

Akraminia also said his government will give a financial reward to anyone who captures US soldiers if they enter Iran.

He announced that Iran has made significant progress in rebuilding infrastructure destroyed in the war and has received new military equipment.

On the Strait of Hormuz, he said vessels will be subjected to Iranian surveillance before they arrive and will only be allowed to pass if Iran grants them permission.
