Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) says it stands ready alongside the Army to deliver a “regret-inducing” response to the US and Israeli regime if they renew their criminal act of aggression against the country.
The IRGC made the announcement in a statement released on Friday to mark National Army Day.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran Army and the IRGC [using] weapons of unity, integrity, coordination, synergy, empathy, and sacred will … stand ready amid a lull in the battlefield during the third imposed war, with their hand on the trigger to deliver a powerful, destructive and regret-inducing response to any aggressive and criminal act by the American-Zionist enemy and their companions against Iran and its history-making nation,” it said.
Iran has witnessed three imposed wars over the past years, including the 1980s’ Iraq war, and two US-Israeli illegal acts of aggression, namely the 12-day one in June 2025 and this year’s 40-day one.
Also in its statement, the IRGC said that the Army - relying on its revolutionary spirit, experience during the eight-year Iraqi-imposed war, and indigenous knowledge and technology - has solidified its place in the country's defense architecture over the past 47 years and turned into a strong fortress of the nation.
It further hailed the Army’s brilliant and honorable role in defending Iran's independence, security, and territorial integrity.
The combat readiness of the Army and the IRGC ground forces foiled the enemy’s plot to launch a ground and naval incursion into Iran and shattered its dream of occupying Iranian islands in the Persian Gulf, noted the IRGC.
It also warned that any foolish act on the part of the enemy will bring about nothing but humiliation and a strategic defeat.
Meanwhile, it stressed that the efficiency of the Army and other armed forces in defending the country against the terrorist US-Israeli aggression was the outcome of guidelines issued by Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei and military commanders.
The recent US-Israeli aggression on Iran began on February 28 with airstrikes that assassinated senior Iranian officials and commanders.
The Iranian armed forces unleashed 100 waves of successful retaliatory strikes against sensitive and strategic American and Israeli targets throughout the region.
Forty days into the war, a Pakistan-brokered two-week ceasefire went into effect but Washington-Tehran negotiations failed to reach a deal.
