  "account": "Iran's military has declared that all weapons systems damaged during the Middle East conflict have been rebuilt, and new systems have been imported, according to the country's army spokesman, Mohammad Akraminia. The spokesman made these claims in a statement on state TV, adding that new systems have also been sourced from the defense industry and some have been imported from abroad, enhancing the combat capabilities of Iran's armed forces.\n\nThe US and Israel initiated the war against Iran on February 28, 2024, with a significant number of strikes, prompting Iranian retaliation across the region. A ceasefire was reached on April 8, 2024, after nearly 40 days of intense bombardment. However, sporadic attacks near the strategic Strait of Hormuz have continued, casting doubt on the prospects of a full peace agreement.\n\nIn response to the damage inflicted by the enemy, Akraminia stated that the country has taken serious measures in the reconstruction and redeployment of damaged systems. He further emphasized that Iran has now adopted an offensive military doctrine, based on international law and the Charter, which allows for pre-emptive attacks if they are proportional and necessary.",
