Iran, PUREWILAYAH.COM — The commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Aerospace Force, Brigadier General Seyyed Majid Mousavi, said Iran’s missiles and drones have locked onto U.S. targets across the region and the ships of what he described as the invading enemy, and are awaiting the order to launch.
In an official message carried by Iranian media, Mousavi said the IRGC Aerospace Force’s offensive systems are on full operational alert.
“The missiles and drones of the IRGC Aerospace Force have locked onto American targets in the region and the ships of the invading enemy. We are awaiting the order to fire,” he said.
The statement marks one of Iran’s most direct military warnings since tensions escalated between Tehran and Washington in the Strait of Hormuz.
