Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr, secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, said in a statement that 'the response of the Islamic warriors is on the way' and that 'the unity of the fronts has created a security chain to defend the region.' He added that 'Lebanon is our life' and warned that crossing the Islamic Republic's red lines will not be tolerated, according to a statement carried by Iranian channels.
At 22:59 Jerusalem time, Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr, secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, released a new statement warning that "the response of the Islamic warriors is on the way" and that "the unity of the fronts has created a security chain to defend the region." The statement was carried by Iranian channels and adds a new layer to Tehran's escalating rhetoric following Israeli strikes on Hezbollah-linked targets in Beirut earlier this evening.
The thread began at 20:37 Jerusalem when Zolghadr first warned that a response from the "soldiers of Islam" is near and that "Lebanon is our life." At the same time (20:37), a second version of the bulletin refined the warning to state that violating the Islamic Republic's red lines will not be tolerated. By 20:47, a third version added the operational pledge that the "Islamic warriors" response is on the way, now signed with the hashtag "Al-Wa'd Wafa" ("the promise will be kept"). The current statement at 22:59 reiterates the "unity of the fronts" framework, which ties Iran's regional proxy network together in a declared security chain.
As The Zioneer reported at 20:45, Iran's Supreme National Security Council itself had already stated that "the response is near," marking a broader institutional escalation. Separately, at 20:46 a report attributed an identical warning to an official source. The desk also reported at 22:20 that Iranian Shura Council Chairman Ghalibaf vowed the resistance "cannot be isolated."
The statement does not specify a timeline or target for the promised retaliation. It remains unclear whether the "Islamic warriors" language refers to IRGC forces, proxy militias, or both, and no independent verification of operational preparations is available.
