The IRGC chief says Iran will resume its retaliatory war against the invaders from where it left off in the event of further aggression, emphasizing full preparedness of the Islamic Republic to strike the enemy once again.

Major General Mohammad Pakpour, Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) chief commander, made the remarks during a meeting with Iran's Army Chief Major General Amir Hatami, on Thursday, emphasizing that IRGC's morale is at its highest level.

“The armed forces are in full readiness and coordination to repeat a strike against the enemy,” Pakpour stressed.

He touched on Iran's 12-day defense against the US and Israeli aggression, noting that the Armed Forces managed to neutralize the toughest and most complex war and sedition in Iran’s history with “the heroic support of the nation.”

On June 13, Israel launched a blatant and unprovoked act of aggression against Iran, assassinating many high-ranking military commanders, nuclear scientists, and ordinary civilians. More than a week later, the US entered the war by bombing three Iranian nuclear sites.

In response, hundreds of Iranian ballistic missiles and drones overwhelmed Israeli air defenses and struck key military, intelligence, industrial, energy, and R&D facilities across the occupied Palestinian territories.

Furthermore, Iran’s Armed Forces also launched a ballistic missile attack against the al-Udeid air base in Qatar, the largest American military base in West Asia.

“The will and dignity of the Iranian people and the armed forces have prevailed. We all stand together. Beloved Iran has never been defeated in confrontation with its enemies,” the IRGC chief further said, adding, “In the final days of the war, the Israelis saw the promised hell with their own eyes.”

“We will not let the aggressors and invaders off the hook. We will resume the war and battle against the invaders exactly from where it was left off,” Pakpour stressed.

Major General Hatami, for his part, condemned the Israeli regime for being the main threat to peace and security in West Asia.

“The evil Zionist regime is a threat to peace and security in the region and the world, and an enemy of Muslims. If given the chance, it will also invade other countries in the region,” he stressed. 

“We pledge that, God willing, the Army and the IRGC will stand side by side and hand in hand—as a divine army—to work for the elevation of Iran’s proud flag and the security and power of Islamic Iran,” Hatami added.

On June 24, the Israeli regime, isolated and abandoned, declared a unilateral halt to its aggression, announced on its behalf by US President Donald Trump.

Iran, through its successful retaliatory operations against both the Israeli regime and the US, managed to impose a halt to the illegal assault.
