Iran Boosts Missile Deterrence, Warns of Rapid Response Amid US Talks

• Iran's top military commander, Abdolrahim Mousavi, announced significant upgrades to domestically produced ballistic missile systems, enhancing the country's deterrence capabilities.
• Mousavi stated that Iran has shifted its military doctrine from defensive to offensive, adopting asymmetric warfare and preparing for a 'crushing response' to enemies.
• These developments follow a US-Israeli military action against Iran last June, which resulted in over 1,000 deaths and strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.
• Iran retaliated with strikes on strategic locations and the Al-Udeid US military base, subsequently accelerating efforts to strengthen its military capabilities.
• Amid heightened regional tensions and US threats, Iran warns of an immediate and decisive response to any American attack, potentially triggering a wider conflict, even as diplomatic talks are set to resume in Oman.
