Khamenei Orders Iran's Military to Strike US, Israeli Targets

Iran’s Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, has issued a directive to the Iranian Armed Forces to respond immediately to any military or terrorist attacks, stating that retaliation will not be limited by geographical boundaries. This order was communicated during a meeting with senior military commanders and shared on Khamenei’s official Telegram account.

The directive comes amid escalating tensions with the United States and Israel, with Khamenei stressing the need for maximum combat readiness and a powerful confrontation with adversaries. He instructed military leaders to update Iran’s target list to include American and Israeli assets.

Khamenei warned that if Iran faced new attacks, the timing and conditions for ending the conflict would be determined by the armed forces and the people. Army spokesman Mohammad Akraminia reinforced this warning, indicating that renewed US military action could expand the conflict.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi also stated that the armed forces would respond decisively to any threats against the Iranian population.
