**March 23 (via CCTV International News) — Multiple Iranian media outlets, citing military sources, reported Wednesday that Iran has prepared a "new surprise" for upcoming days of potential conflict—one that could have "significant effect."** The sources claimed U.S. President Donald Trump’s "all military options have failed," and he is seeking an exit by shifting the conflict from the actual battlefield to social media. Trump is aware his military "ammunition is in a very poor state" — unable to secure a military victory or reopen the Strait of Hormuz — so he has resorted to verbal attacks that will only leave him "more disgraced," the sources added. Contrary to Trump’s empty promises, Iran has planned a "surprise operation" for the next few days that will further clarify the conflict’s outcome, the sources said. They advised Trump to "temporarily put down his phone and social media and focus on the sky, the stock market, and oil prices."
