This decision, according to Iranian officials, is intended to safeguard the nation against potential American attacks. The announcement signals a potential escalation in tensions between the two countries, which have been strained for years. Details of Iran's offensive plans were not immediately disclosed, leaving ambiguity regarding the scope and nature of its intended actions. This move comes amidst ongoing negotiations surrounding Iran’s nuclear program and continued regional instability. Experts suggest that the shift may be a deterrent measure, aiming to dissuade the US from military intervention.
