To the farthest edges of the battlefield...
What will be Iran's strategy in the event of an enemy invasion?
The new issue of the #Voice_of_Iran newspaper answers this question in its editorial
The enemy has come to the field with all its might; from sending military equipment to the region to threats and political rhetoric, and perhaps most widely and complexly of all, the relentless and widespread onslaught of psychological and media operations. The methods and tactics are different and cover each other, but the goal is the same; dictating arrogant policies and forcing Iran to surrender. The same thing that the US President announced in the middle of the 12-day war with the sign "unconditional surrender" and dreamed of, but in the end, the manly resistance of our country's armed forces and the resistance and national unity of the Iranians led to the enemy's retreat and a ceasefire.
Now, once again, the enemy has fallen into greed and thinks that he can compensate for his previous failure and realize his evil dreams through threats and intimidation and perhaps a military attack.
The Islamic Republic of Iran has repeatedly and clearly stated that it does not seek war, but if the enemy wants to implement this option again, Iran has not run away from war and is ready for any scenario. We have so far shown a degree of restraint in response to the enemy's mischief and aggression, but this time the story will be different and a regional war will await the aggressors and their supporters and hosts.
In such a war, the red lines of the past will change seriously and the battlefield will be wider than before. The bank of targets will expand, and if the soil and lives of Iranians are to be subjected to American evil and attack, the interests and lives of Americans will not be safe anywhere.
In the 12-day war, Iran's regional supporters did not enter the field, and the Islamic Republic acted alone against the Zionist and American aggressors. However, in a possible future war, this equation will change, and the enemy will face different and diverse fronts in different battlegrounds.
The US president is facing various challenges at home, and igniting the fire of war with Iran will explosively increase his current frustration and turn it into a humiliating defeat. If Trump, as some American media outlets have said, thinks that he can put pressure on the negotiating table with a limited attack and force Iran to retreat from its red lines and national interests, he will have made a profound miscalculation, and this error will leave him with a heavy bill.
In such a battle, Iran does not consider the Zionist regime and the United States to be separate, and this regime will taste a severe slap from Iran, harder and heavier than its previous experience.
The blessed month of Ramadan is the month of the Master of the pious, the Commander of the Faithful, Hazrat Ali (AS). The same commander who said; “If the mountains shake, you remain steadfast. Grit your teeth and entrust your head to God, and plant your feet like nails in the ground, and observe the farthest edges of the battlefield, and ignore the terrifying scenes, and know that victory is the promise of God Almighty.”
It is no wonder that Iran’s enemies are unable to understand these instructions that have built the morale of the soldiers of Iran’s Zulfiqar army.
