The commander of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) on June 11 issued a stark warning, vowing a 'crushing' response to any new act of aggression against the country. The statement came as Middle East tensions rise sharply.
Speaking to senior commanders, the IRGC chief emphasized that the force is at its highest readiness and will retaliate 'severely and comprehensively' if Iran is attacked. He also warned stakeholders not to underestimate Tehran's defensive capabilities.
The move follows a series of escalating incidents in the region, including airstrikes and clashes involving Iran-backed proxy forces. Analysts view the warning as a deterrent message aimed at the United States and Israel, Iran's primary regional adversaries.
Iran has repeatedly denied allegations concerning its military and nuclear activities, asserting its legitimate right to self-defense. There has been no official reaction from the United States or Israel to the latest IRGC statement.
