Khamenei Advisor: Saddam's Experience Highlights Deterent Importance
The article focused on emphasizing the importance of deterrence to prevent repeated attacks on Iran, as highlighted by Khamenei's advisor in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, General Mohammad Reza Naghdi. He referenced the experience of the eight-year Iran-Iraq War to illustrate this point. Naghdi pointed out that Iran was able to restore its deterrent capability after a period, whereas U.S. efforts to weaken Iran through pressure policies failed, instead strengthening Iran’s international standing. He warned that the absence of deterrence leads Iran’s opponents to believe they can launch new attacks, citing the Battle of Mersad, which demonstrated that offensive strikes may continue even after setbacks, and that maintaining a strong deterrent is essential to prevent renewed clashes. Additionally, he cautioned that a continued lack of deterrence exposes the country to the risks of future attacks, warning that if attacks on Iran are not met with high costs, it will encourage its adversaries to escalate threats.
