The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the Iranian Armed Forces General Staff, and the Khatam al-Anbiya headquarters issued a joint statement Tuesday evening threatening the United States with "heavy and crushing blows" and vowing that America will regret its recent attacks. The statement, circulated via Iranian state-aligned channels, escalates Tehran's rhetoric amid ongoing tensions following U.S. airstrikes in Iran.
The joint statement, issued Tuesday evening by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the Iranian Armed Forces General Staff, and the Khatam al-Anbiya headquarters, threatened the United States with 'heavy and crushing blows' in response to what Iran described as 'new attacks' by America. The statement, published on Iranian state-aligned channels, did not specify the location or timing of the alleged U.S. strikes. It marks the latest in a series of high-level Iranian threats against the U.S. amid a cycle of kinetic exchanges. The Zioneer has previously reported on Iranian military threats following U.S. airstrikes in southern Iran, including a June 10 statement by the Khatam al-Anbiya headquarters claiming 'powerful attacks' on U.S. bases, and a July 12 IRGC declaration of combat readiness. The current threat underscores Tehran's sustained posture of defiance as the confrontation with Washington continues.
