+++ Iran-Krieg +++: Irans Außenminister sieht keine Notwendigkeit für USA-Treffen

Teheran, Iran - Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Musavi Khamenei, has instructed the country's armed forces to respond immediately and effectively to any threat, aiming for maximum deterrence, according to Iranian media after a meeting with commanders. There will be no geographical restrictions. If attacked, Iran will dictate the timing and conditions of the end.

Additionally, Khamenei has ordered an update to the target database, ensuring all forms of material and intangible assets of the US and Israel fall within the reach of the armed forces. As the supreme leader, Khamenei holds the broadest constitutional powers, serving as the supreme commander of the armed forces, determining fundamental policy, and controlling key state institutions.

The president and government are subordinate to him in essential strategic matters. Earlier, reports suggested that US President Donald Trump, during a rare face-to-face meeting with the head of US Central Command (Centcom) for the Middle East, Admiral Brad Cooper, discussed military options for Iran. The "Wall Street Journal" reported this as a potential indication of a major US military deployment on the horizon.
