The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) threatened Friday that its forces are ready to respond with 'unprecedented force on land, sea, and air' if the current understandings in Lebanon are violated. The IRGC presented the arrangement as a victory and said 'with a small order from the leader, we will inflict a historic defeat on the enemy.'
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) escalated its rhetoric Friday, threatening an 'unprecedented' multi-domain response if the current arrangements in Lebanon collapse. In a statement carried by Iranian media, the IRGC presented the emerging understandings as a victory and warned: 'With a small order from the leader, we will inflict a historic defeat on the enemy on land, sea, and air.' The threat comes amid continuing Israeli strikes in Lebanon and follows a pattern of daily IRGC statements over the past two weeks. As The Zioneer reported at 11:08, an earlier Friday statement had already warned of 'historic defeat.' Thursday evening, IRGC spokesperson Fatima Mojarahani had signaled continued commitment to the US agreement but readiness to strike. The new statement makes no mention of specific triggers or timetables. The specific 'understandings' referenced remain undefined in the IRGC statement, and it is unclear whether they refer to a recent ceasefire arrangement or a broader diplomatic framework. The threat marks the latest in a sustained campaign of verbal escalation by Tehran since early June.
