Iran's Missile Capabilities Are Uncontrollable, No Permission Required: Khamenei's Adviser

Any aggression against Iran will be met with a tough and immediate response. This statement was made by Ali Shamkhani, the political adviser to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

“Iran's defensive doctrine defines certain responses even before a threat is carried out. Iran's missile and defensive capabilities are uncontrollable and do not require permission. Any aggression will encounter an immediate and tough reaction that will exceed the imagination of its organizers,” Shamkhani wrote on X.

U.S. President Donald Trump had stated that the United States is ready for dialogue with Iran but may resort to the use of force, which would have more serious consequences than striking nuclear facilities. “I hope they are not trying to restart the nuclear program because if they do, we will have no choice but to quickly destroy it,” he said.
