The commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) issued a stern warning to enemies, emphasizing the importance of learning from past conflicts. Highlighting the significance of Homeland Security Strength, Major General Mohammad Pakpour addressed the nation during the birth anniversary of Imam Hussein (AS), which coincides with Pasdar Day, a celebration of IRGC members. He urged America and the Zionist regime to carefully assess their actions and avoid any miscalculations. According to Pakpour, history provides clear lessons, especially from the 12-day war in June 2025. He stressed that failure to heed these lessons could result in dire consequences.
Pakpour underlined that the IRGC has strengthened its readiness and is fully prepared to execute the orders of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution. He affirmed that, under divine guidance, the IRGC and Iran’s armed forces will continue to reinforce Homeland Security Strength against foreign threats. During the June 2025 conflict, the Zionist regime initiated a 12-day war targeting Iran’s military, nuclear, and residential facilities. Shortly after, the United States conducted attacks on Iran’s nuclear sites in Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan. The Iranian military quickly responded with decisive counterattacks.
The IRGC Aerospace Force executed 22 waves of retaliatory missile strikes in Operation True Promise III. These strikes inflicted significant damage across cities in the occupied territories. Simultaneously, Iranian forces launched missiles at al-Udeid air base in Qatar, the largest American military base in West Asia. The combination of strong counterattacks forced the enemy to seek a ceasefire. By June 24, 2025, the fighting ceased, marking a significant defensive achievement for Iran.
Pakpour emphasized that the lessons learned during this conflict have further reinforced Homeland Security Strength. He concluded by warning that Iran’s enemies should not underestimate the country’s capabilities. With the IRGC’s preparedness and the devotion of other military branches, Iran will maintain and enhance Homeland Security Strength. The commander’s message clearly signals that any hostile action will face a firm and swift response.
