[Iran's Supreme Leader Issues Instructions to the Armed Forces on Responding to Threats] ⑴ Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei issued instructions to senior commanders of the armed forces regarding responses to potential enemy threats, demanding immediate and effective measures, regardless of geographical limitations. ⑵ Senior commanders of the armed forces met with Supreme Leader Khamenei, who stated that a "smart state of readiness" aimed at forcefully countering the enemy is a necessary condition for achieving "maximum deterrence." ⑶ He ordered that threats, regardless of their level or type, must be responded to immediately and effectively, without geographical limitations. ⑷ Khamenei emphasized that if the enemy launches another military or terrorist attack, the decision on when and under what conditions the conflict will end will rest with the Iranian armed forces and the Iranian people. ⑸ He also stressed the need to strengthen the military intelligence system, deepen autonomous defense at both the "theoretical" and "tactical" levels, utilize new technologies to enhance modern defense and security capabilities, consolidate the spiritual foundation and revolutionary spirit, and strive to meet and fully support the living needs of the armed forces. (6) In another part of the instructions, it was decided to update the target database to ensure that all tangible and intangible assets of the “American-Jewish” enemy are within the range of armed forces.
