The commander of the Iranian army's ground forces said Monday that Iran's armed forces will never cease to defend the state and the ideals of the Islamic Revolution, and will exact revenge for those killed, according to a statement.
The commander of the Iranian army's ground forces issued a statement Monday vowing that Iran's armed forces will never halt their defense of the state and the Islamic Revolution, and that revenge for the blood of the killed will be taken from Iran's enemies.
Similar rhetoric has been used by other Iranian commanders in recent weeks. As The Zioneer reported on July 10, the IRGC commander said 'revenge for the leader's blood will not be forgotten' and that the demand would not be erased until full justice was achieved. On June 20, the IRGC navy warned it would never yield if the adversary did not uphold its commitments. The Iranian army chief also warned on June 16 that any mistake by the enemy would be met with 'accumulated fury.'
The statement was issued amid ongoing regional tensions, with Iran's dual military structure — the Artesh and the IRGC — maintaining a high state of readiness. The ground forces commander's statement aligns with the pattern of belligerent declarations from senior Iranian commanders, though no specific operational steps were announced.
