An article in Iran's Mehr News Agency points out that the core issue is no longer the scale of Iran's response to potential aggression, but rather the nature of Iran's response and how such a response will affect the enemy's strategic judgment. The most important deterrent message Iran is sending to Washington and Tel Aviv should be clear: no attack can be considered a costless act that guarantees the achievement of its intended objectives. Any decision to launch an aggression will be accompanied by a series of risks and consequences, which the attacker must take into account in its initial strategic assessment. The emergence of new fronts in the future does not necessarily mean the appearance of some unknown weapon or events that exceed existing military rules. Sometimes, changes in the political landscape, increased economic resilience, enhanced defensive capabilities, and the thwarting of the enemy's strategic objectives can themselves be the most important changes on the battlefield. From this perspective, Iran's winning strategy lies in the skillful combination of its own strength, combat readiness, initiative, and accurate strategic judgment. The ultimate goal of this combination is not to escalate the war, but to prevent the enemy from imposing its will on it and to safeguard national security, independence, and territorial integrity.
