Iran’s Armed Forces warn US, Israel against renewed onslaught
Iran’s Armed Forces warned the United States and Israel against any renewed onslaught on the Islamic Republic, saying Iran is ready to crush aggressors and sinister plots against the country’s security.
The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) said on Sunday that Iran is more determined than ever to confront any “arrogant-Zionist threat and conspiracy.”
The IRGC also said the Islamic Republic stands ready to crush any aggressor and any sinister plot against its security.
The IRGC delivered the remarks in a statement on Sunday, marking the anniversary of the return of liberated prisoners of the war that was imposed by Iraq’s former dictator Saddam Hussein on the country in the 1980s.
The statement came a day after the General Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces sternly warned the United States and Israel against any renewed aggression against Iran, stressing that such folly will be met with a crushing response much stronger than that of the 12-day imposed war in June.
The top Iranian military body released a statement on Saturday, as it commemorated the release anniversary of the prisoners of war from Iraq.
“Global arrogant powers have not learned from their successive past failures since the victory of the Islamic Revolution 46 years ago. They once again launched an act of aggression against Islamic Iran in cooperation with the bogus, savage and child-killing Zionist regime – their devoted agent and proxy in the region.
“However, as many experts, analysts, politicians and observers have acknowledged, this sinister plot brought them nothing other than a disgraceful defeat, humiliation and shame,” the statement read.
The General Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces then cautioned the US and the Israeli regime to cease their conspiracies and hostility against the “powerful and invincible Iran.”
It said in the event of any miscalculation or hostile act, what led to Iran’s restraint and prevented large-scale operations during the 12-day imposed war, will not be repeated.
The statement concluded that enemies will instead face new surprises and measures far more crushing and destructive than before.
On June 13, the Israeli regime launched its aggression targeting senior Iranian officials and nuclear scientists in an act of terrorism that killed scores of civilians as well. Days later, the United States escalated the war by bombing three civilian nuclear facilities in Iran.
In a powerful response, the Iranian Armed Forces launched retaliatory strikes on strategic Israeli targets across the occupied territories and also hit the Al-Udeid air base in Qatar, the largest American military outpost in West Asia.
On June 24, Iran, through its successful retaliatory operations against both the Israeli regime and the US, managed to impose a halt to the illegal assault as Tel Aviv, overwhelmed by the counterstrikes, was compelled to seek a cease-fire.
