But first to Ali Hashem, in the Iranian capital.

Adverbs of manner

And Ali, firstly, news of these latest attacks happening across Iran, and reports also of partial power outages.

Well, there have been huge explosions here in Tehran an hour ago, an hour and a half ago, and

there were reports of power outages in Karaj and the province of Alborz.

That's on the borders of Tehran and also in limited areas of Tehran.

Just now, there is a new update, actually

15 minutes ago, from Mustafa Rajabi Mashhadi, the Deputy Minister of Energy, who said that several power transmission substations have been activated and the electricity in Tehran and Karaj will be restored in a few hours.

Then came another line that the operational power restored to most areas of Tehran and Karaj.

Operational forces of the electricity industry are still working to restore power to the remaining areas as soon as possible.

Most of the areas have restored electricity is restored in most areas.

But interestingly, he's saying that they've activated substations, and

this gives another indication how much they've been also preparing for such situations.

Now, this might not be the attacks on power plants that were expected.

However, in the case of attacks, it seems that the Iranians are already having the substations ready to be activated at any time.

Stay with us, Ali, because let's take in some other developments coming out on the political front in Iran.

And a statement from Iran's parliament speaker accusing the US of preparing for a ground invasion.

Mohammed Baghregali Baaf has said the enemy openly sends messages of negotiation and dialogue while secretly plotting a ground attack, unaware that our men are waiting for the American soldiers to enter on the ground so they can rain fire upon them and punish their regional partners.

We are aware of the enemy's weaknesses and clearly see the signs of fear and terror in the enemy's army.

Ali, this is clearly fighting talk from the Iranian speaker there.

So is it now inevitable in Iran's eyes that the US is preparing a ground offensive?

Well, there's a confidence gap between the United States and Iran.

It's been getting bigger and bigger and bigger, especially after the latest this war.

I mean, this war came just after 48 hours of the last round of talks between Iran and the United States, just like the other war in 2025, when on the day it was supposed to happen, the war started.

It exists, and it's getting bigger and bigger.

Now, regarding the diplomatic path and the military path, Iranians are preparing for a long war.

This is what we understand from their officials, from their sources, from their military.

It's clear that they are taking this into consideration.

And actually, they see the war of attrition as their best path to try to defuse President Trump's objectives, given the fact he wants a quick war.

He wants a war that will finish between four and six weeks.

And they want to drag him into a quagmire.

And let me just add, I've been in touch with one of the senior officials here in Iran.

With respect to their response to the American points, till the moment, till now, the Iranians haven't sent their responses.

And it's clear that they're not planning for now to send any response because the conditions or the points the Americans sent are not acceptable.

What wasn't taken or what wasn't given in the days of peace wouldn't be given in the times of war.
