Iran Shifts Military Doctrine to Offensive Posture, Warns of Broader Retaliation
Iran's military has shifted its doctrine from defensive to offensive, influenced by lessons from recent conflicts, according to Army spokesman Brig. Gen. Mohammad Akraminia. While Iran does not plan pre-emptive attacks, it warns any aggression will prompt an immediate and broader response. The military has rebuilt capabilities during the ceasefire and prepared plans, including rewards for capturing or killing US troops if they enter Iran. This reflects a strategic adjustment following recent wars and confrontations.
