SAEDNEWS: The commander of Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters said the country’s Armed Forces enjoy total combat readiness and are prepared to fight off any potential acts of aggression.
“The Armed Forces are in full readiness, closely monitoring any enemy movements, and if they make any miscalculation and attempt to encroach on the sacred soil of our country again, they will face a more crushing response,” the commander said on Wednesday.
Earlier in the day, Iran's Defense Minister Brigadier General Aziz Nasirzadeh said the missiles the Armed Forces used against Israel in June’s 12-day war had been domestically produced a few years ago, warning that newly-manufactured missiles with much better capabilities would be used in case of any fresh Israeli onslaught.
“In the 12-day war, we faced a fully supported power. In this war, the Islamic Republic of Iran did not confront only the Zionist regime, as the entire logistical, intelligence, and support capabilities of the United States were present in this war,” General Nasirzadeh said.
Stressing that the Iranian Armed Forces had no reliance on foreign resources and used what was made by the country's defense industries, Nasirzadeh said the world witnessed that the missiles launched by Iran hit their targets perfectly and inflicted severe damage on the Israeli regime.
On June 13, 2025, the Israeli regime launched strikes against Iran, targeting several civilian, military, and nuclear facilities, which led to the assassination of a number of Iranian military commanders and nuclear scientists.
In retaliation, Iran unleashed waves of drones and missiles at the occupied territories under the operational name True Promise III, inflicting significant damage on both settlements and military installations.
On June 22, 2025, the US Air Force and Navy carried out airstrikes against three Iranian nuclear facilities in an attempt to relieve pressure on the Israeli regime.
The following day, June 23, Iranian forces retaliated with over 30 drones and missiles against the US base in Qatar, under the codename Operation Glad Tidings of Victory, damaging multiple parts of the facility.
Finally, on June 24, after suffering heavy losses at the hands of Iran’s Armed Forces, both the Israeli regime and the US were forced to agree to a cessation of hostilities.
