Скачать или смотреть Iran Abandons "Telegraphed" Strikes: Target Set for 500 U.S. Casualties

In the wake of the devastating 12-day war in June 2025, Iran is signaling a massive shift in its military strategy. Moving away from the "telegraphed" and limited retaliations of the past—designed to avoid full-scale conflict with the U.S.—Iranian officials now suggest a much harsher response to future aggression.

Dr. Foad Izadi of the University of Tehran reveals that the new military leadership, installed after previous commanders were killed in June, has set a chilling benchmark: a goal of at least 500 American casualties to establish true deterrence.

While Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi maintains that Iran is open to "fair and equitable" negotiations regarding its nuclear program, he remains firm that its ballistic missile capabilities are off the table. As the U.S. notifies regional allies of potential imminent strikes, the Middle East stands on the brink of a conflict that Araghchi warns will not stay within Iranian borders.
