Commander Highlights IRGC’s Rapid Military Progress

Speaking to reporters in Tehran on Sunday, IRGC Deputy Commander Rear Admiral Ali Fadavi said one of the unchanging strategies of the IRGC is the maintenance of “hardware preparedness” in compliance with the teachings of Quran and the guidelines provided by Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei.

“There has been no hiatus in this process,” the commander stressed.

He also hailed the “very good” capabilities and power that the IRGC has gained in the short term, pledging that this growing trend will continue.

While the Zionist regime waged an unprovoked war of aggression against Iran on June 13 and struck Iran’s military, nuclear and residential areas for 12 days, the US stepped in and conducted military attacks on three nuclear sites in Iran’s Natanz, Fordow and Isfahan on June 22.

The Iranian military forces conducted powerful counterattacks immediately after the aggression. The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Aerospace Force carried out 22 waves of retaliatory missile strikes against the Zionist regime as part of Operation True Promise III that inflicted heavy losses on cities across the occupied territories.

Also, in response to the US attacks, Iranian armed forces launched a wave of missiles at al-Udeid air base in Qatar, the largest American military base in West Asia.

A ceasefire that came into force on June 24 brought the fighting to a halt.
