Following the 12-day conflict with Israel in June 2025, Iran has established a new Supreme National Defence Council to centralize military planning and enhance the armed forces' capabilities. The council is chaired by the Iranian president and includes a veteran politician and former nuclear negotiator appointed to lead the body. This restructuring reflects Tehran's recognition of the need for a more flexible and effective leadership framework to address potential future conflicts with Israel. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard has warned that any threats against Iran will be met with stronger responses than those previously directed at Israel. Additionally, Iran has stated that future negotiations with the United States will require accountability for US strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities during the recent conflict. In the aftermath of the war, Iran executed a man convicted of spying for Israel. These developments underscore Tehran's efforts to consolidate its defense strategy and assert its position following the recent hostilities.
