Iranian officials hail IRGC on its anniversary
Guards say ready to create ‘shocking events’ beyond enemy’s comprehension
Top Iranian officials hailed the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) for its role in safeguarding the country’s security, especially during the recent aggression by the United States and Israel against the country.
In a message commemorating the anniversary of the establishment of the IRGC on Wednesday, Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian emphasized the critical role that the IRGC has played in safeguarding the security and dignity of the country amid various external threats. Pezeshkian said that during the recent US-Israeli war of aggression, the IRGC effectively disrupted the enemies’ plots and nefarious ambitions through a decisive, strategic, and victorious response.
Describing it metaphorically as a “good, strong tree” providing shade, Pezeshkian articulated how the IRGC has steadfastly contributed to Iran’s independence and national security throughout the years.
Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf said the IRGC's struggles in three imposed wars against the Iranian nation and armed insurgencies targeting border and security and cities represent a "great medal of honor" on the chest of the guards, who have sacrificed to the last drop of blood for the Islamic Republic.
In his message, Qalibaf described the IRGC as a source of pride and glory for Iran, saying it is a force that has shown unparalleled sacrifice in protecting the ideological and physical borders of the country.
"The IRGC is one of the distinctions that sets Iran apart from other countries of the world," Qalibaf said. "It is a blessed tree rooted in the soil of this land, whose branches are the people, in whose flesh, skin and blood the protection of dear Iran flows."
He added that the IRGC is present in natural disasters, construction efforts and cultural arenas just as it is on the battlefield, and rushes to protect Iran and the revolution wherever their names are invoked.
The IRGC itself announced its readiness to create shocking events far beyond the comprehension and calculation of the US-Israeli enemy on the battlefield.
In a statement marking the anniversary of the IRGC’s establishment, the organization emphasized that its multiple forces and the popular Basij “are ready to create achievements and shocking events far beyond the comprehension and calculation of the warmongering and treacherous enemy, utilizing new cards on the battlefield.” The statement said that IRGC is at the peak of readiness and determination to continue the battle against the enemies and is “ready for decisive, certain, and immediate confrontation with any threat or repetition of enemy aggression.”
