According to reports emerging from official Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) sources, Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has directed IRGC commander-in-chief Major General Ahmad Vahidi to prepare an 'aggressive and powerful' offensive against Israel. The reports, circulating in the past hour, corroborate earlier unverified claims from within the IRGC.
The Zioneer reported at 09:50 that unverified sources within Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps indicated Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei had ordered IRGC commander Ahmad Vahidi to prepare an offensive. Now, additional reports from official IRGC sources — shared in the past hour — corroborate that account with greater specificity. The sources state that Khamenei directed Vahidi to ready an 'aggressive and powerful' attack against the Zionist enemy.
While the orders appear to be preparatory rather than an immediate launch signal, the explicit direction from the Supreme Leader to Iran's top military commander marks a significant escalation in tone. This follows a period of heightened tensions, including previous IRGC threats of 'devastating blows' and reports of the IRGC raising its alert level (The Zioneer, July 12).
These reports remain from a single, albeit official, source stream and have not been independently verified. The IDF has not commented.
