Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyed Mojtaba Khamenei ordered military readiness against the United States on the local date of the 31st, according to the Office of the Supreme Leader.
During a meeting with senior military commanders that day, Ayatollah Khamenei instructed them to "comprehensively update the military target database so that all physical and non-physical assets of the hostile forces of the United States and the Zionists (Israel) are included within the striking range of the Iranian military."
Ayatollah Khamenei stated that "an intelligent combat readiness for a powerful confrontation with the enemies is a fundamental prerequisite for securing maximum deterrence."
He continued, "We must counter any level or type of threat with an immediate, powerful response without geographical limitations."
Ayatollah Khamenei emphasized, "If Iran's enemies resume military attacks or terrorism, the entity that will decide when and under what conditions such attacks will end will be the military and people of the Islamic Republic of Iran."
He called for the necessity of strengthening military intelligence systems, deepening independent defense capabilities in both doctrine and tactics, and enhancing modernized defense and security capabilities utilizing new technologies.
He also said that it is necessary to strengthen the spiritual foundation and the spirit of jihad, and to resolve the livelihood issues of military personnel.
Ayatollah Khamenei added, "I express my gratitude for the wise and firm stance of the Resistance Front shown in various countries."
Recently, in Israel's general election, both the pro-Netanyahu and anti-netanyahu factions failed to secure a majority, while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu—who has waged a war against Iran alongside President Trump since late February—is being discussed as potentially forming a new coalition government to continue his rule.
