Tehran just raised the stakes. In a rare military summit, Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei issued new "guiding measures" for Iran’s armed forces, shifting the country from restraint to a posture of active confrontation. With Major General Abdollahi declaring "peak readiness" for offensive operations, the message to Washington is clear: Iran is choosing to break the blockade rather than sign the Islamabad peace plan. The "American-Zionist enemy" has been warned—the response will be swift and powerful.
