The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said it has 50,000 missiles locked and loaded and warned that no structure in the region would remain, responding to President Trump's earlier claim that 1,000 US missiles are aimed at Iran. The threat was issued in a statement on Saturday evening.
The IRGC's statement, published Saturday evening, directly responded to President Donald Trump's earlier assertion that 1,000 US missiles are 'locked and loaded' and aimed at Iran. The Guards claimed to possess 50,000 missiles ready for use, with hundreds more in development. 'We will turn the entire Middle East into rubble; no multi-purpose structure will remain,' the statement read. The threat marks the latest escalation in a war of words between Washington and Tehran, following Trump's repeated warnings of a massive military response if Iran targets him. Earlier today, Trump said the missiles were 'ready to fire' and warned of thousands more if he were assassinated, as The Zioneer reported. The IRGC has previously threatened to retaliate twice as hard against any US strikes, though these threats have not yet materialized into direct military action.
