Summary
Iran said this week’s senior military reshuffle has shifted its forces into an “offensive doctrine” for the next phase of conflict.
Mohammad Reza Naqdi, an adviser to the Revolutionary Guard’s new commander, said on state TV the military is being reorganized to become more agile and more aggressive abroad.
The overhaul reflects Tehran’s expectation of a prolonged confrontation with the US and Israel, even if the current round of fighting subsides.
The appointments signal Iran is using wartime command changes not just to replace leaders, but to recast strategy for future clashes beyond its borders.
