Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, in strategic directives to senior armed forces commanders, says that “every form of enemy threat must be met with immediate response, without geographical limitations,” Press TV reports.

“All material and non-material assets of the US-Israeli enemy must be within Iran’s reach,” the supreme leader said.

“If the enemies once again begin military or terrorist attacks, it is the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic and the Iranian nation that will determine the time and conditions of its end.

“Intelligent combat readiness for a powerful confrontation with enemies is a fundamental prerequisite for achieving maximum deterrence.”

Armed forces, nation would determine timing and terms of any future war, Mojtaba said.
