The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps issued what it called a 'severe warning' to the United States, stating that if Washington considers renewed attacks against Iran, it will face a response more serious than any previous action, and that such operations would destabilize the region further and ignite a widespread, prolonged conflict. No specific military measures or timeline were detailed.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) issued a direct warning to Washington on Monday evening, stating that any repeat of US attacks against Iran would draw a response 'more serious than any previous action' and risk igniting a 'widespread and prolonged conflict' that would further destabilize the region. The statement, published at 19:44 Jerusalem time on IRGC-affiliated channels, did not specify what military measures might follow, but the language marked an escalation in rhetoric from the corps.
The warning is the latest in a series of IRGC statements over the past two days threatening the United States. As The Zioneer reported, the IRGC raised its alert level to the highest degree late Sunday, threatening an 'unprecedented' response to any US attack. On Monday, an IRGC spokesman separately warned of 'unprecedented attacks' and 'hell' if the US strikes Iran. An earlier bulletin, at 00:35 Jerusalem time, reported the IRGC threatening to strike 'American sources of fire operating from Israel.'
The present statement appears to depart from the narrower scope of previous threats — which focused on responses to specific Israeli or US operations — into a more general deterrence warning against any renewed American action. It remains unclear whether the IRGC's 'severe warning' represents a new operational directive or an attempt to shape US decision-making through public messaging. No corroborating statements from other Iranian military branches or political leadership have been reported at this hour.
