Hassan Qashqavi, spokesperson for the Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, on Monday, 11 Aban, in an interview with Mehr news agency, said that in the event of a renewed attack on the Islamic Republic, the geographic scope of the war could expand and unexpected areas could be targeted.

Qashqavi said: “There are areas that perhaps no one has considered so far; but for now, I do not intend to talk about the details, and it will become clear in the future.”

He also said that the offensive and defensive capabilities of the Islamic Republic have increased compared to the 12-day war, and if fighting begins again, “more surprises” will occur.

Pointing to Supreme Leader of the Islamic Republic Mojtaba Khamenei’s order for an immediate and effective response to threats without geographic limitations, Qashqavi emphasized that this instruction has been issued for implementation and should not remain at the level of analysis and commentary.
