The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has indicated its readiness for strategic shifts, including a potential revision of Iran's nuclear doctrine, according to a statement by an IRGC representative. The military is prepared for necessary actions should the country's leadership decide to alter its nuclear policy. Concurrently, Tehran issued a warning to its adversaries, stating that their assets, both within and beyond state borders, are within Iran's reach. Brigadier General Hossein Mohebbi, speaking to the Fars agency, confirmed the IRGC's preparedness for "any strategic changes" and stated that preparations would be made if the leadership opted to revise the nuclear doctrine. He did not, however, announce any decision to change the policy or specify potential steps. Mohebbi also emphasized that Iran's potential targets are not confined to hostile nations' territories, asserting that "assets of hostile countries are not limited to their geographical borders." This aligns with a recent directive from Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei, who called for responses to threats "without geographical limitations." The IRGC also reported updating its target list, indicating that enemy assets and interests are within reach. Mohebbi further mentioned that the IRGC's Aerospace Force is developing weaponry independently and is working on increasing the range of Iranian missiles.
The discussion about potentially revising the nuclear doctrine has intensified following recent strikes by the U.S. and Israel against Iran. This reconsideration touches upon the stance established by a 2003 fatwa from the late Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, which prohibited the development of nuclear weapons. However, no official decision to change this course has been announced. Iran's Supreme National Security Council Secretary Mohsen Rezaei stated on October 31 that no new decisions had been made on the matter. On November 2, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei described the doctrine revision as a "real issue" but reiterated Iran's commitment to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
