Keyomars Heidari, deputy chief of staff of the Islamic Republic’s armed forces, said on Wednesday, 20 Aban, that confrontation with the United States has turned into a regional war and that the interests and military bases of the “enemy” are within range of the Islamic Republic’s missiles and drones.

Heidari said the response of the armed forces will be “without geographic limitations,” and if an aircraft from a country takes off to attack Iran, the armed forces are allowed to target a similar target in that same country. He added that this also applies to missile attacks.

Heidari said that with the removal of geographic limitations by Mojtaba Khamenei, the target bank of the armed forces for a possible future war has been set and updated and is ready to be communicated to the commanders of the Army and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

He added that this target bank is not limited to the battlefields of the past and covers points in the region and beyond that could be where the United States or Israel might use their forces.
