TEHRAN – IRGC spokesperson General Ali Muhammad Naeini highlighted Iran’s growing military preparedness, warning the enemies that they will have to suffer heavier defeats in case of any aggression against the country.
“Today the country is safer, military preparedness is greater and deterrence is increasing. The enemy’s weaknesses are more apparent and we are ready for inflicting heavier defeats (on enemies),” Naeini said on Tuesday.
He made the remarks at a rally marking the National Day of Fighting against Global Arrogance in Karaj.
Referring to the 12-day war imposed by the Israeli regime and the U.S. in June, the spokesman said the war was an American project, commissioned by the U.S. and executed by the Zionist regime. “Iran stood alone against the entire NATO and CENTCOM, and the enemy suffered a heavy defeat,” he said.
“The 12-day war showed that American statesmen are not trustworthy, and the Iranian people were tactically aware and, through solidarity, became a steel shield,” General Naeini emphasized.
He then warned that the enemy’s post-war focus is on undermining national cohesion.
“The enemy’s strategy is to construct a narrative of victory from the previous war and to produce fear of a new war, targeting the economy, political stability, and the public’s morale in order to make Iran anxious and despondent,” he cautioned.
Earlier, chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi expressed satisfaction with the increasing defensive deterrent power, emphasizing that Iran’s combat readiness has prevented enemies from conducting a new round of strikes against the country.
“Our defensive and combat preparedness has reached a stage that prevents enemies from committing miscalculations, including the notion of launching a fresh invasion of our country,” Mousavi said.
The high-ranking military commander praised the comprehensive preparedness of the Iranian armed forces to vigorously defend the country’s independence, security, and territorial integrity, and to confront all potential threats and dangers.
Mousavi also appreciated the vigilance and wisdom of the armed forces and lauded their historic experiences, particularly the 1980-88 war imposed by then-Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein and the 12-day Israeli-U.S. war in June.
On June 13, the Zionist regime launched an unprovoked war of aggression against Iran, targeting military, nuclear, and residential areas for 12 consecutive days. The United States later escalated the conflict by striking three of Iran’s nuclear sites in Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan on June 22.
Iran’s Armed Forces delivered an immediate and forceful response. The IRGC Aerospace Force carried out 22 waves of retaliatory missile strikes under Operation True Promise III, inflicting significant damage and heavy losses on cities across the occupied territories.
In retaliation for the U.S. attacks, Iranian forces also targeted al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar —the largest American military installation in West Asia— with a barrage of missiles.
The confrontation came to an end on June 24, when a ceasefire was enforced.
