All Visible and Invisible Assets of US-Israeli Adversaries Within Reach of Iran’s Powerful Armed Forces: Major General Ali Abdollahi
Tehran, Iran | November 3, 2026 | The Global Journal
All visible and invisible assets belonging to the United States and Israel are now within reach of Iran’s powerful armed forces, warned Major General Ali Abdollahi, Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces and Commander of the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters. He also cautioned that any future threat or act of aggression against Iran would receive an immediate, powerful and effective response.
General Abdollahi made the remarks in a message issued on Tuesday (November 3) marking Iran’s National Day of Fight Against Global Arrogance, observed on the 13th of Aban. The country's Mehr News Agency (MNA) reported the statement.
In his message, Abdollahi claimed that following the 40-day war imposed jointly by the United States and Israel on Iran beginning February 28, the country has emerged as the world's fourth rising pole of power. According to him, the conflict has not only altered the military landscape but has also reshaped the global balance of power and the established structure of international politics.
Highlighting the historical significance of the 13th of Aban, he said the day represents the Iranian people's resistance and struggle against global arrogance. It commemorates the exile of Imam Khomeini in 1964, the killing of revolutionary students in 1979, and the seizure of the US Embassy in Tehran on November 4 of the same year. He also referred to the August 19, 1953 coup and the CIA's Operation Ajax, highlighting what he described as America's historical responsibility toward the Iranian people.
General Abdollahi further claimed that Iran's control over the Strait of Hormuz has transformed the country into an important global power center. He argued that current developments demonstrate that regional countries can ensure their own security without depending on the US security umbrella, challenging the traditional concept of a unipolar world order.
Stating that Iran does not seek war or conflict, he said the country's military doctrine has evolved in response to changing realities and strategic necessities. Iran's military posture, he explained, is no longer limited to defence but has shifted toward an approach of "offensive initiative" and moving from crisis management to building a new regional and international order.
He warned adversaries that any new military action against Iran would trigger a response without geographical limitations. In this context, he also referred to the directives of Iran's Supreme Leader.
Addressing the issue of lasting regional security, Abdollahi stressed the need to end hostilities on all fronts, including Lebanon and the Gaza Strip. He also called for the complete removal of sanctions imposed on Iran, the release of Iranian assets frozen abroad, and compensation for damages caused by the war.
Additionally, he proposed establishing a new regional security framework for the Strait of Hormuz to replace what he described as the existing US security structure. He said effective guarantees against renewed aggression and a regional security arrangement free from foreign interference were also among the seven proposals put forward to end the war.
Describing Iran's armed forces as a central pillar of national defence and deterrence, Abdollahi said the military remains prepared to confront domestic and foreign adversaries with the support of the Iranian people. He emphasized that military readiness, intelligence capabilities and strategic resources are being continuously updated to maintain maximum deterrence.
He further stated that Iran's armed forces are continuously updating their target database while keeping the visible and invisible assets of their US-Israeli adversaries within their crosshairs. He emphasized that the Iranian military is fully prepared to deliver an immediate and effective response to threats of any scale or nature, without geographical limitations.
