IRGC Issues Stern Warning: Iran Ready to Strike Back Decisively Against Any Aggression

On the occasion of Sacred Defense Week, the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) released a statement emphasizing the nation’s resilience and military capabilities, drawing lessons from both the Iran-Iraq War and the recent 12-day Israeli-imposed conflict. The statement reaffirmed Iran’s ability to maintain strategic initiative and deter any threats.

According to the IRGC, Iran’s armed forces—guided by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei—have achieved high levels of self-sufficiency, battlefield readiness, and operational innovation, allowing them to respond decisively to any miscalculation or aggression.

Sacred Defense Week celebrates Iran’s popular resistance and commemorates one of the most glorious chapters of the Islamic Revolution. The statement highlighted how the nation successfully thwarted global efforts to compromise its sovereignty, territorial integrity, and Islamic Establishment.

The IRGC stressed that effective deterrence relies on constant preparedness, advanced defense systems, and innovative strategies. Even under harsh sanctions and economic pressure, Iran’s armed forces have leveraged indigenous capabilities to maintain readiness against advanced militaries.

The statement also delivered a clear warning: any hostile action, especially by the US or Israel, will face a decisive, crushing, and timely response, with full readiness across land, air, sea, missile, cyber, and intelligence domains.

Finally, the IRGC honored the sacrifices of martyrs, veterans, and combatants of the Sacred Defense, reaffirming their commitment to protect Iran’s national security and sovereignty.

This declaration underscores Iran’s resilience, strategic foresight, and readiness, sending a strong message of deterrence while commemorating its historic defense legacy.
