The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) spokesman said in a statement to Iranian state media that if Washington does not neutralize its forces in the region and release Iran's ports, the IRGC will carry out preemptive attacks against all countries in the region. He added that 'diplomacy is no longer relevant at this stage.'
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) spokesman issued a direct threat Sunday evening, warning that the IRGC will launch preemptive strikes against all regional countries unless the United States withdraws its forces from the region and releases Iranian ports. The statement, carried by Iranian state media, declared that "diplomacy is no longer relevant at this stage" and that negotiations would only resume after the "cruel American administration" leaves the entire region.
The threat comes amid a period of extreme tension between Tehran and Washington. As The Zioneer has reported, the IRGC recently raised its military alert level to the highest state and formally withdrew from all nuclear talks with the United States, declaring the negotiations "closed." The organization has also threatened regional states hosting US forces, warning that their bases and assets are "no longer safe."
The new statement explicitly conditions the IRGC's restraint on the removal of US military presence from the region. It remains unclear whether the US has responded to the threat or whether any operational preparations are underway. The IRGC's rhetoric has escalated significantly in recent weeks, transitioning from proxy-based operations to direct threats of confrontation.
