IRGC signals shift in Iran's military doctrine
Iran's military doctrine is transitioning from a defensive approach to an offensive one, according to the country's armed forces. Iranian Fars News Agency reported that IRGC Political Deputy Brigadier General Yadollah Javadi stated that Iran's actions have been defensive thus far, but they could become offensive in the future. Javadi emphasized that Iran's armed forces will adopt transformative approaches and take necessary action when the time is right.
This shift in strategy was described as a significant transformation in Iran's military strategic doctrine, according to Al Jazeera. The new commander-in-chief, Major-General Ahmad Vahidi, has given priority to maximum deterrence, implying that defensive actions would inherently take on an offensive nature to preemptively neutralize threats.
Javadi warned Iran's adversaries that the nation would not be caught off-guard and that they must anticipate strategic surprises.
