Imam Khomeini's grandson says Iran must enhance ‘deterrence’

During an interview with Iranian media, Hassan Khomeini clarified his position, stating, "I am neither in politics nor the military; I am simply expressing my personal opinion on enhancing the level of deterrence." When asked for specifics on what kind of deterrence enhancement he envisioned, the cleric responded, "I'll say this much for now."

"War is bad under any circumstances and should be avoided," he said,
"however, fear of war is worse—an example of this is Shah Sultan Hossein. The whole world should know that when that point is reached, we will stand firm without retreating, even though Iran and Hezbollah have never been warlike. In the matter of Israel, defense is paramount, but if it comes to a confrontation, we must stand firm. In our resistance, we pursue steadfastness, not aggression."

Imam Khomeini’s grandson reiterated Iran's commitment to a Palestinian right to return and self-determination.

"We believe that Palestinian refugees should return to their homeland and a referendum should be held so that the government of Palestine can determine its own future," he stated.
"This is the legitimate solution of the Islamic Republic of Iran; however, Americans and Israelis propose a two-state solution because they are trying to gain global acceptance for the legitimacy of the Israeli regime. More than 20 years have passed since 2004, yet during this time, the two-state solution has not been pursued."

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said he will visit Saudi Arabia to discuss ways to halt the Israeli regime’s atrocities in Gaza and Lebanon.

Reaffirming Iran’s policy of supporting the resistance forces and its efforts to condemn and end the Zionist regime’s atrocities, Araqchi reiterated that Iran does not seek war, nor does it fear it.

Asked about the Israeli regime’s rhetoric of military action against Iran, the foreign minister said Tehran is prepared for every scenario and has identified “all necessary targets” in the occupied territories.

“Our policy is to cease clashes and to achieve a ceasefire acceptable to and agreed on by the resistance,” the top diplomat stated.
