Tehran adopts offensive posture following end of ceasefire

A senior Iranian official told Reuters on Monday that Tehran will shift to a fully offensive posture following Washington's decision not to extend a temporary ceasefire agreement. This strategic shift comes amid reports that Iranian security forces are preparing to suppress potential unrest while maintaining control over the Strait of Hormuz. Analysts suggest that this move could heighten the risk of military conflict in the region. Previously, the increased presence of police forces on the streets of Tehran to enforce morality regulations has been viewed as an effort by the government to consolidate internal control.
