Military Strategy and Preemptive Actions

During

the tenure of Amir Mousavi, Martyr Mousavi, which lasted nine months

over

the General Staff of the Armed Forces, this process actually

became a shift in our military doctrine from defensive to

offensive, and moved ahead with intensity.

And today, in this war, we have used this doctrine

Look, you mentioned its examples.

A U.S. base in Jordan was targeted by missiles

and the counterrevolutionary bases

and separatist bases were repeatedly targeted by

Air Force fighter jets, Army drones, IRGC drones

as well as the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps' missiles.

This action was also preemptive

and took the initiative away from them,

and you saw that they could not do anything

before they could actually take any action,

they were hit, came under attack, and, well, those

weapons that Trump claimed we had provided to

Iran's opposition, some of them went to these

separatist and counterrevolutionary bases that

took place in Iraqi Kurdistan, and this operation was carried out.

After that, in this recent two-week war,

we took this action. The U.S. bases that

had been prepared to carry out operations against

us, we targeted the military there with drones,

and the news of it was also released. That is, within the framework of a preemptive war,

we carried out measures and operations.

This war is also a legitimate war. That is, a preemptive operation

is considered legitimate because it observes

principles, including necessity, urgency, and proportionality.

It is recognized as legitimate, and Article 51 of the

United Nations Charter recognizes self-defense,

and within the framework of self-defense, preemptive operations were carried out.

And now, if necessary, in the future we will

undertake preemptive operations to deter the enemy

from committing any act of aggression

or attack.
