The Iranian regime has warned that it could go "on the offensive" in view of the territory of other countries

The Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, Mohammad Hosein Bagherí, He warned that the army could adopt an "offensive military tactic" if it found it necessary to protect the interests of the country.

"If there is an intention to attack our interests and we see the evidence, we will not remain pbadive or leave the security and peace of the country threatened."said the general, quoted by the official Iranian press.

The Iranian authorities have always maintained that the development of their military capabilities, including missile systems, have a purely defensive and dissuasive purpose, an argument that does not convince the United States, other European countries or the Middle East at all.

The Iranian Chief of Staff claimed that Although the country's overall strategy is defensive, this does not mean that the armed forces act "exclusively defensively and pbadively in their tactical and operational approaches".

"It is true that we are not eagerly seeking the interests and territory of other countries, we can take an offensive approach to protect our own interests, so that foreigners ban the idea of ​​violating the interests of our country, "Bagheri said.

In the last two years, Iran has carried out targeted attacks in other countries. Two of them bombed Syria against the jihadist group "Islamic State" a few days after its attacks on Iranian territory.

He also launched seven missiles last September against the Iraqi seat of the Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan (PDKI), an independent party that Tehran has accused of perpetrating acts of terrorism and sabotage in Iran.
