The General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic will respond more forcefully and extensively to any threat.
In a recent statement, the General Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces declared that the Islamic Republic will stand firmly and powerfully against any kind of threat, conspiracy, and excessive demands, and will confront threats with a more forceful and extensive response.
In this statement, released on the anniversary of the revolution, it is mentioned that the Pahlavi regime, by ignoring the interests of the Iranian nation and at the behest of foreign powers, had turned into an executor of the ambitions of the United States and Europe in the region.
This stance is expressed at a time when, in recent weeks, reports have emerged about increased U.S. military presence in bases around Iran and the deployment of warships near regional waters, raising concerns about the possibility of renewed military confrontation.
During the recent 12-day war, Israel in a surprise attack killed Mohammad Bagheri, the former commander of the General Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces.
