Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) threatens to invade any country that attacks it as the military shifts to an “offensive and asymmetrical” defence doctrine, according to its spokesman Hossein Mohebi.
Dozens of Israeli fighter jets have carried out a training exercise along Iran’s western borders to “demonstrate strength”, according to US media reports.
