Tehran's military took a noticeably tough stance, indicating that a sizable amount of firepower is still underutilised, even as Iran's Foreign Minister Syed Aragchi landed in Islamabad for bilateral talks and a potential meeting with US negotiators Steve Wirkoff and Jared Kushner.
A significant amount of Iran's "missile capability has not been used" during recent confrontations, according to Defence Ministry spokesperson Brigadier General Reza Talaei-Nik in remarks to state media, highlighting what he called intentional strategic restraint.
Additionally, the spokesperson said that until shortly before the truce took effect, the "Armed Forces had full control over the skies of the occupied territories."

Press TV claims that despite the reopening of diplomatic lines, Iran appears to be keeping a significant amount of cutting-edge weaponry in reserve. Talaei-Nik emphasised the nation's local military ecology, stating that a "thoroughly indigenous production line" sustains weapons manufacture, guaranteeing self-sufficiency.
"This capacity is the result of more than 25 years of preparation and investment in the defence industry, to the extent that even if some facilities are damaged, the process of production and support continues across the country's geographical expanse," he stated.
"In this process, around 9,000 companies are cooperating with the Armed Forces and the Ministry of Defence," he added to Press TV.Talaei-Nik also presented Iran's control over the Strait of Hormuz, which was closed in reaction to what Tehran claims is an American embargo, as a tactical tool. According to him, the waterway "has become a lever of control for realising the demands of the Iranian nation."
He was quoted by Press TV as saying that Iranian forces had used "smart and thorough control" of the chokepoint to force "enemy forces to retreat in the Gulf of Oman."
In terms of internal affairs, the spokesperson called the recent pro-establishment demonstrations a "social miracle" and said that over 30 million people have registered for a national campaign stating that they are "ready to stand strongly in defence of the nation."
