Iranian military leaders are signaling a significant change in the country's military strategy, abandoning a defensive stance and opting for an aggressive approach towards US forces in the region. This shift in doctrine comes as a result of the recent conflict with Israel and the US, during which six military commanders were killed. Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei recently appointed six new commanders to replace those who fell, making this development a hot topic in local media.

Brigadier General Alireza Sheikh, the deputy commander of the Iranian army, recently provided insight into the new military strategy during a media interview. General Sheikh highlighted recent attacks on Kurdish opposition group bases as a prime example of this offensive approach. The change in Iran's military doctrine marks a notable shift in the country's stance against US forces in the Middle East.
