Mojtaba Khamenei, identified as the Supreme Commander of Iran's armed forces, has issued directives for the final preparations for combat operations against the United States. The Iranian military's high command met with Khamenei, where it was stated that maintaining high combat readiness is crucial for deterrence. Military personnel were also instructed to respond immediately and effectively to any threats, regardless of their nature or location.

Khamenei declared that if adversaries initiate renewed military or terrorist attacks, Iran will dictate the terms and timeline for ending the confrontation. He further ordered the enhancement of military intelligence, the development of an independent defense doctrine and tactics, and the modernization of the armed forces with advanced technologies.

Specific attention was given to bolstering troop morale, improving service conditions, and providing necessary material support. Khamenei also mandated a review of target lists to include various tangible and intangible assets associated with the U.S. and Israel. He emphasized that public support and national unity with the army, security forces, and the Basij militia are vital for defense, deterrence, and safeguarding Iran's territorial integrity and political system.

Khamenei commended the military leadership and conveyed gratitude to all military personnel, security forces, the Basij militia, the Ministry of Defense, and their families. This comes amid heightened rhetoric from Tehran due to fears of a new military confrontation with the U.S., while simultaneously attempting to refute reports about the health of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Regional countries have also intensified diplomatic efforts to de-escalate tensions.
