Iran's Supreme Leader Issues Directive: Respond Effectively and "Without Geographic Restriction" to Any Enemy Threat

Odaily: Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei met with senior commanders of the armed forces and issued a directive: maintaining wise combat readiness and confronting the enemy with powerful force is a necessary condition for achieving "maximum deterrence." He ordered that an effective response must be given immediately to any threat at any level and in any form, without geographic limitation. Mojtaba emphasized that if the enemy launches another military or terrorist attack, it will be the Iranian armed forces and the Iranian people who decide when and under what conditions the conflict ends.

He also stressed the need to strengthen the military intelligence system, deepen indigenous defense capabilities in both the "theoretical" and "tactical" domains, leverage new technologies to enhance modern national defense and security capabilities, while strengthening spiritual strength and fighting will, and continuously and unremittingly safeguarding the living needs and logistical support of the armed forces. His directive also called for updating target lists to ensure that all types of tangible and intangible assets of the hostile forces of the United States and Israel fall within the strike range of the Iranian armed forces.

Mojtaba expressed gratitude for the firm stance demonstrated by the resistance fronts of various countries, and pointed out that unity across all domains is a decisive variable with strategic significance in shaping a new political and security order in the West Asia region. He expressed hope that this new order can further promote unity among the people and governments of Islamic countries and create conditions for building a new Islamic civilization. (Jinshi)
