The IRGC on Friday issued a statement on the occasion of the ‘Iranian Army Day’, highlighting the role and position of the Army in defending Iran during the recent war of aggression imposed by the US and the Israeli regime.
The statement noted that the enemy’s failure to implement potential scenarios for aggression against Iran—including land and naval operations and plots to seize Iranian islands in the Persian Gulf—was the result of the Iranian Army’s high combat readiness and operational posture, alongside the coordination and overlap of the IRGC Ground Force.
It added that such coordination among the Iranian military forces sends a clear and meaningful message that any “foolish act” by the enemy would undoubtedly be met with “lethal blows” from the fighters of Islam, leaving only humiliation, strategic defeat, and disgrace.
The IRGC further described the strengthening of the Army’s air defense capabilities in intercepting and hunting down American and Israeli projectiles and fighter jets, the execution of successful and destructive drone operations against enemy targets across the region, as well as the consolidation of an impenetrable border security belt and surveillance and offensive operations in the Sea of Oman, as manifestations of the Army’s performance during the 40-day war.
The statement stressed that Iran’s Army and the IRGC, in unity, integration, coordination, solidarity, and sacred determination, and under the leadership and guidance of Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Mojtaba Khamenei, remain in a state of battlefield silence but full readiness.
It emphasized that the Army and the IRGC have their “finger on the trigger” and are prepared to deliver a powerful, destructive, and regret-inducing response to any aggressive or criminal action by the US-Israeli enemy and their allies against the Iranian nation.
