Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei has issued directives in the wake of the appointment of six top military commanders, saying that Iran is “in a strategic, fateful confrontation with Global Arrogance”.
In a post on X, Khamenei outlined these directives as an increase in capabilities to achieve “maximum deterrence” coupled with a “readiness in intelligence” for offensive operations; cultural advancement within the IRGC, and the development of a management and command throughout the organisational hierarchy, endowed with “spiritual and scientific foundations and modern skills”.
