Iran Orders Unrestricted Military Response to US and Israeli Threats

Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has instructed the country's military to prepare an immediate and geographically unrestricted response to any hostile threats. In a written message, he warned that Tehran will determine the timing and terms of any upcoming conflicts if the United States or Israel engage in military or terrorist actions.

The directives include updating military target lists to bring all tangible and intangible US and Israeli assets within striking distance. Furthermore, the supreme leader instructed the armed forces to boost the production of ammunition and weapons for combat, support, and reconnaissance.

Khamenei also emphasized the need to enhance intelligence capabilities and build indigenous defense systems to lower reliance on foreign suppliers. These orders arrive amid growing friction between Tehran and Washington surrounding the Strait of Hormuz and ongoing military confrontations.
