Iran's armed forces have been authorized to retaliate anywhere in the world under new orders from Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, senior IRGC adviser Mohammadreza Naqdi said Wednesday, warning of deadly strikes if Iran's enemies take further hostile action.
Speaking to the Iranian Students News Agency, Naqdi, a senior adviser to the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, said Khamenei's instructions had given the armed forces a free hand to respond to threats without geographical restrictions.
"If the enemy makes another wrong move and seeks to act aggressively again, it will certainly receive deadly blows in different parts of the world," Naqdi said.
His remarks follow Khamenei's October 31 orders to senior military commanders to respond immediately and effectively to threats, without geographical limitations, and to update their list of potential targets.
