Iran Rolls Out Offensive Strategy in Face of US Threat

Iran’s military doctrine has been changing from its previously “defensive posture toward an offensive one” amid the wars with the United States and Israel, Iranian army spokesman Brigadier General Mohammad Akraminia told IRNA news agency.

The revised doctrine entails a rapid and broad response to any attack against Iran.

It does not necessarily entail preemptive strikes, though Akraminia did recall one such example when Iran hit a US base in Jordan before the US joined Israel’s attack on Iran.
