Iran ‘may adopt offensive military tactics to defend interests’

[PRESSTV] Iran’s chief military commander says the country may adopt offensive military tactics in order to protect its interests while continuing to adhere to its broad doctrine of defense.

Major General Mohammad Baqeri, the chairman of the Chiefs of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, said on Sunday that the Iranian military would adopt offensive tactics as and when they were deemed necessary.

"There is, among the country’s broad strategies, a defensive strategy ‐ we defend the independence and territorial integrity and national interests of the country," Maj. Gen. Baqeri said. "This, however, does not mean that we would be acting exclusively defensively and passively in our operational-level and tactical approaches."

He said Iran did not have any intention of seizing foreign territory or harming foreign interests, yet, "to protect our national achievements and interests, we may adopt an offensive approach."

"If someone sought to violate our country, if signs and evidence [of such aggression] were detected, the Islamic Theocratic Republic would not be sitting idly by so that the nation’s interests and the country’s calm are endangered," Baqeri said.
