Iranian army: We will conduct preventive operations if necessary to deter the enemy from any attack

Speaking to Iran's Fars News Agency, Ekreminiya said that Iran changed its defense-oriented military approach to include "preventive operations" during the war against the US-Israel.

Ekreminiya stated that these operations aim to prevent the enemy from taking action and take the initiative into Iran's hands, and stated that the missile attack on US bases in Jordan, as well as the operations carried out with missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles against armed groups in the north of Iraq, were carried out within the scope of this approach.

"These actions were preemptive and took away their initiative. They were shot before they could take action." Ekreminiya noted that the Iranian army also targeted some US bases, which were considered to be preparing for an attack, instead of waiting for the attacks, with UAVs.

Explaining that these operations are considered within the scope of self-defense by Iran, Ekreminiya said, "If necessary, we will carry out preventive operations in the future to deter the enemy from any attack." he said.
