Iran Claims Unused Weapons Ready for New US Strikes as Trump Paused 1 Planned Attack

An Iranian military source told RIA Novosti that Tehran has domestically made “modern weapons” not yet used or battlefield-tested and says they are ready if the US attacks again.
The source said Iran has no equipment or defense-capability shortages that would stop it repelling attacks, adding that this time Tehran does not intend to show restraint.
The warning follows Donald Trump’s Monday post saying Gulf leaders from the UAE, Qatar and Saudi Arabia asked him to postpone renewed strikes on Iran, and that he then canceled a planned Tuesday attack.
Diplomatic efforts have since centered on a possible letter of intent or memorandum between Washington and Tehran to open a month of talks on issues including Iran’s nuclear program and the Strait of Hormuz, though major gaps remain.
Is Iran’s military crippled, or does it hide modern weapons capable of escalating the entire conflict?
