Iran’s Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces warned that any aggression could create serious security risks for the United States and its allies. Major General Seyed Abdolrahim Mousavi made the statement during a nighttime inspection of a military unit. He emphasized that the Iranian nation has consistently resisted Washington’s aggressive policies over the years. According to Mousavi, these actions repeatedly forced setbacks on adversaries.
He highlighted the country’s handling of recent unrest, describing it as complex, multi-layered, and driven by terrorist elements. Iran successfully disrupted enemy plans and calculations during these confrontations. Mousavi added that the Iranian people have shown over the past decades that no adversary can defeat them. He warned that anyone ignoring this history will face serious defeat.
The military chief recalled past conflicts, including the Iran–Iraq war, a recent 12-day conflict, and domestic unrest. He said Iran actively countered coordinated plans involving both the United States and Israel. Mousavi stressed that the armed forces remain fully motivated and ready. He warned that even small miscalculations by adversaries could trigger major actions, putting the US and its partners at serious security risks.
He rejected claims about a possible maritime blockade against Iran. Mousavi explained that the country’s geographic and strategic position makes such a blockade impossible. He said Iran has updated its defense doctrine after the 12-day conflict. The new approach focuses on offensive operations, rapid deployment, and wide-ranging strategies.
Mousavi concluded by saying Iran relies on its people, military, and leadership to respond to threats. He insisted the country will not show negligence and will retaliate if adversaries provoke it. He repeated that any mistake could create serious security risks for the United States and its allies. The general’s remarks underline Iran’s strong stance on national defense and readiness. He stressed that adversaries must carefully consider the consequences of their actions. Serious security risks will grow if conflicts escalate further.
