- Mojtaba Khamenei instructed Iran’s top three military commanders that a renewed attack by the U.S. and Israel “must be met with an immediate and effective response.”
- The response mandate was to apply “without geographical limitations,” with Khamenei tying that broader scope to achieving “maximum deterrence.”
Why it matters: Iran’s three top military commanders received an explicit geographic mandate: any renewed U.S. or Israeli attack must draw an immediate, effective response without geographical limits. That wording makes Iran’s response perimeter geographically open-ended while directly serving the stated goal of “maximum deterrence.”
