Ali Abdollahi, Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Iran, stated that the military has updated its target list concerning U.S. and Israeli assets. Abdollahi warned that all military factions will immediately respond to any threats. Ever since Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei ordered the armed forces last week to deliver a "geographically unrestricted" response to any attacks, Iranian officials and media have increasingly referred to bases outside the Middle East used to launch attacks against Iran. In a statement, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) indicated that the Supreme Commander's latest directive has been fully and preferentially integrated into the "maximum deterrence" program.
