Mohammad Akraminia, the spokesperson of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Army, said in a television interview that Tehran’s military doctrine has shifted toward “preemptive operations.” He said that Operation “Sa‘aeqeh” was carried out in three stages and that ground-to-ground missiles “Fath” and “Arash 2” drones equipped with artificial intelligence were used. Akraminia claimed that the first missiles and drones were fired about 15 minutes after the United States attack, and that U.S. bases from Jordan to the UAE were targeted. He added: “We stand until the Americans leave the region.”
