Iran signals shift in military doctrine after Lebanon defence strike

Iran’s strike in defence of Lebanon was not merely a military response but the formal declaration of a new strategic doctrine, Sadegh Amoli Larijani, the head of Iran’s Expediency Council, stated.

He added that the operation delivered a clear message that any attack on “one pillar of the Axis of Resistance would draw a response extending beyond geographical borders and could reshape regional dynamics,” Iran International reports.

"Iran had also demonstrated that any expansion of the conflict or attack on the country’s critical infrastructure would be met with a comprehensive and deterrent response, one that could encompass all actors supporting such confrontation," Amoli Larijani noted.
