Iran could draw on Muslim and Shiite communities worldwide and as part of a response to its adversaries, a lawmaker said on Thursday.
“We can now use the capacities of free people around the world, Muslims, Shiites and other groups, as a tool to defend the people and nation of Iran.” Hamed Yazdian told Iran-based website Didban Iran. “Our behavior should be such that the enemy feels safe nowhere in the world.”
Yazdian said Iran’s options were not limited to missile strikes. He added that extending missile range beyond the previous 2,000-kilometer limit was technically possible, saying that cap had been set under instructions from former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
Yazdian described changing Iran’s nuclear doctrine as a serious demand and said lawmakers were waiting for Mojtaba Khamenei’s religious ruling and instructions on the issue.
