title: "Iran's acting defence minister hints at new military capabilities"
description: "Most outlets reported that Iran’s acting defence minister warned of new military capabilities and “surprises” for its enemies as the conflict enters its sixth month. Daily Times explicitly mentioned the minister’s name and the phrasing “new surprises,” while Minute Mirror used slightly more dramatic language with “signals ‘surprises’ for enemies” and referenced the conflict entering its sixth month in a truncated manner. Both framed the statement as a warning but did not elaborate on the nature or timing of the alleged capabilities."
