The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) issued a statement saying it is prepared to confront anticipated American strikes and is ready to respond to them immediately. The declaration comes amid high regional tensions and follows days of escalating rhetoric between Tehran and Washington.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has issued a statement declaring its forces ready to face expected American airstrikes and to retaliate immediately. The announcement, reported by a single source, does not specify the anticipated timing or nature of any US action, nor the form the IRGC's response would take.
The statement comes at a moment of extreme regional tension. As The Zioneer has reported, the IRGC Air Force has issued multiple vows of a 'significant response' and a 'decisive direct response' to enemy actions over the past several days, without naming specific timing or targets. Israeli security sources have separately stated that forces are poised on both defense and offense, and that the public would be warned if signs of an Iranian retaliation against Israel are detected. US officials have also signaled readiness to respond if Iran strikes back.
It remains unclear whether the current statement refers to the same threat trajectory—escalation stemming from earlier strikes attributed to Israel and potential US operations—or marks a new phase. The declaration is unverified by independent sources beyond the single the source reporting it. No concrete deployments or changes in Iranian force posture have been independently confirmed at this time.
