Iranian President: Supreme Leader Orders End to "Neither War Nor Peace" Status with the US

Odaily: Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated that Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has issued instructions to end the current "neither war nor peace" status with the United States. Iranian sources cited Pezeshkian's remarks from the same day, saying that Iran will engage in dialogue while safeguarding its own dignity and resolve disputes through equal negotiations. He stated that if Iran's rights can be guaranteed through dialogue, there should be no resort to force, but Iran will not yield to power and bullying.

Iranian sources also reported on the 9th that Iranian military spokesman Mohammad Akrami-Nia said the Iranian armed forces are implementing the Supreme Leader's recent instructions, and future military operations will place greater emphasis on rapid response and strike effectiveness, and will no longer be limited by geographic scope. Iran's previous military doctrine was based on defense and deterrence, but is now shifting toward an offensive orientation. He stated that Iran will not slow down its military capability building due to changes in US domestic politics and will continue to advance plans to enhance deterrence capabilities. (CCTV News)
