The commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy warned that 'divine revenge against terrorist America and Israel is not far off,' according to a statement carried by Iranian media. The threat follows a week-long pause in hostilities after the death of Iran's Supreme Leader. Separately, President Trump boasted that Iran 'is dying to reach a deal' and that the US granted Iran a week off for the funeral 'because we are nice.'
The commander of the IRGC Navy issued a statement Saturday warning that 'divine revenge against terrorist America and Israel is not far off,' according to Iranian media reports via Abu Ali Express. The threat marks the first explicit IRGC retaliation pledge since the conclusion of a week-long pause in hostilities that followed the death of Iran's Supreme Leader.
President Trump separately stated that Iran 'is dying to reach a deal' and confirmed the US granted a week-long pause for the funeral — 'because we are nice,' he said. Trump's remark provides a new explanation for the lull. As The Zioneer reported Saturday at 06:47 Jerusalem, Trump had earlier said the US 'dismantled Iran's shape' and that the pause was a courtesy.
The IRGC Navy threat, while lacking specific timing or target details, signals that Iran's military posture remains aggressive despite the temporary lull. The IRGC has repeatedly warned of severe retaliation following US strikes near the Strait of Hormuz earlier this month, which included the downing of a US Apache helicopter. The threat's broad wording — encompassing both the US and Israel — suggests any future retaliation could target multiple fronts. No specific military measures or response timeline were detailed by the IRGC.
