在德黑兰，涉及伊朗、以色列和美国的军事升级重燃不再只是假设性情景，而已成为真实前景，伊朗官员公开讨论并将其纳入国家战略考量。伊朗当局已示意做好应对潜在敌对行动恢复的准备，同时保持外交接触以力图避免冲突。
In Tehran, the possibility of a renewed military escalation involving Iran, Israel and the United States is no longer just a hypothetical scenario. It has become a real prospect, openly discussed by Iranian officials and factored into the country's strategic calculations. Iranian authorities have signaled their readiness for the potential resumption of hostilities, all the while maintaining diplomatic contacts in an effort to prevent it.
周三（10月28日），伊朗总统马苏德·佩泽希齐扬呼吁全国行政机关保持持续备战状态，以“应对国家不断变化的形势”。他在内阁会议上表示：“所有部长、局长和行政机构副负责人都必须保持完全准备就绪，并视情况将管理和削减成本作为优先事项。”这一呼吁是在紧张局势升级、空袭可能重启的担忧中发出的。
On Wednesday, October 28, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian called on the country's executive bodies to maintain a constant state of readiness "to face the country's changing circumstances." "All ministers, directors and deputy heads of executive agencies are required to remain fully prepared, and depending on the situation, to make management and cost reduction a priority," he said during a cabinet meeting. His call came amid heightened tensions and fears that airstrikes could resume.
在同一次会议上，外交部长阿巴斯·阿拉格齐通报了旨在防止新一轮升级的近期磋商，重点涉及沙特阿拉伯、巴基斯坦和土耳其——这三个是8月签署的《麦加防御协定》签署国——以及卡塔尔。磋商聚焦地区安全，以及由卡塔尔和巴基斯坦斡旋达成临时协议的可能性。巴基斯坦陆军参谋长阿西姆·穆尼尔也于10月20日访问了伊朗。
During the same meeting, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghtchi discussed recent consultations aimed at preventing a new escalation, particularly with Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and Turkey – the three signatories to the Mecca Defense Pact signed in August – as well as Qatar. Talks have focused on regional security and the possibility of a provisional agreement brokered by Qatar and Pakistan. Pakistan's army chief, Asim Munir, also visited Iran on October 20.
