Tehran has become the scene of a powerful military demonstration, with Iranian authorities publicly displaying the Khorramshahr-4 ballistic missile at a rally in Revolution Square.

The missile's display reportedly came shortly after Donald Trump's recent statements on extending the ceasefire, widely interpreted as a direct deterrent signal to Iran's adversaries. The missile on display has a range of around 2,000 kilometers and the ability to carry a heavy warhead. According to Iranian sources, it has been used in live attacks before and is considered one of the most advanced weapons in the country's arsenal.

In some cases, symbolic images of regional targets were also displayed during the parade, including references to energy infrastructure in Qatar, which was interpreted as a signal of pressure on the wider region.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps declared that it remains on “high operational alert” and prepared to respond to any threat with “strong and immediate strikes.” On the diplomatic front, Iran’s UN representative, Amir-Saeed Iravani, declared that Tehran is ready to return to negotiations, but only if the US lifts naval restrictions and stops military actions.

He said a new round of talks could take place in Islamabad, stressing that Iran "is prepared for both diplomacy and conflict, if forced."

Meanwhile, Iranian authorities are trying to downplay the impact of the US-imposed naval blockade, claiming that supplies of food and basic goods remain stable thanks to domestic production and imports from various borders. The situation remains tense, with a combination of military demonstrations and diplomatic signals indicating a delicate balance between escalation and negotiations.
