RABAT, October 7. /TASS/. The Iranian Armed Forces are continuously updating the list of potential enemy targets in the region, which could be subject to preemptive strikes if necessary, a spokesperson for the Islamic Republic’s army said.

"The Iranian army is constantly updating its database of enemy targets and has already identified numerous sites in the region, including military bases, that could be attacked by Iranian forces," said the army spokesperson, as quoted by the Al Mayadeen television channel. He added that "if necessary, Iran will carry out preemptive operations to deter the enemy from any aggression or attack."

The spokesperson for the Islamic Republic’s army warned that "in the event of new attacks on the country’s territory, Iran’s Armed Forces will launch a retaliatory strike that will be more powerful, broader, more decisive, and faster than previous ones." The Iranian military warned that US forces would become more exposed if Washington were to launch a ground offensive and deploy troops onto Iranian territory or islands in the Strait of Hormuz.
