Mohsen Razai, the secretary of the Supreme Council for National Security, emphasized in an interview with the Al-Mayadeen network that the goal of the Islamic Republic of Iran is to achieve "stable security".
When raising the question of what would prevent the repetition of attacks by other countries without receiving a guarantee for Iran's rights, Razai clarified: "We want to impose a cost on the Americans that will make the attack on Iran more expensive and act as a deterrent; and this cost is to guarantee our rights."
Mohsen Razai also warned that if the Americans make a "miscalculation" and attack, Iran's response will not be limited to regional bases; Instead, remote US bases, particularly in European countries, as well as islands believed to be beyond the range of Iranian missiles, will be targeted.
Razai seems to be referring to the island of Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean, where the British military base is located and the United States also has the right to use it. During the war, the Islamic Republic tried to target this island, but the ballistic missiles fired fell into the water before reaching their destination.
