Iran's military leadership has issued strong statements reaffirming the country's defensive readiness and commitment to countering any aggression. The Army stated its forces remain fully alert and prepared to protect national security and interests, especially in light of any potential violation of agreements.
Top generals, including Chief of Staff Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi and IRGC Commander Major General Mohammad Pakpour, stressed the importance of unity within the Armed Forces for safeguarding national security, independence, and the ideals of the Islamic Revolution. Mousavi indicated that Iran's defensive and combat readiness has reached a level that deters potential adversaries from making miscalculations or launching renewed attacks.
Pakpour highlighted the IRGC's role in implementing the nation's defensive doctrine and its readiness for a swift response to any adventurism, referencing a recent conflict where he claimed the "Zionist enemy and the United States suffered defeat." Army Commander Major General Amir Hatami echoed these sentiments, describing the Armed Forces' readiness as "permanent and invaluable" and warning that any enemy mistake would be met with a severe response. He also cautioned against enemy attempts to sow doubt among the Iranian populace.
