Iran’s IRGC Commander: Any Source of Aggression Will Be Targeted
Major General Hossein Salami warns that Iran will launch retaliatory strikes on any location in any country from which aggression against the Islamic Republic originates
Iran, PUREWILAYAH.COM - Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), Major General Hossein Salami, unveiled a new subterranean drone base of the IRGC Navy on Thursday.
The drone base was revealed in Iran’s southern province of Hormozgan, located on the Persian Gulf coast. The underground operational base accommodates reconnaissance drones that are tasked with monitoring the movements of U.S. aircraft carriers in the region.
In remarks made during the visit to the newly unveiled base, Major General Salami emphasized that what has been disclosed to the public represents only a small fraction of the IRGC Navy’s extensive drone capabilities.
IRGC Navy Structured for Sustained Combat and Full-Scale War
Major General Salami stated that the IRGC Navy has shaped its power and structure based on the need to engage in battle against extra-regional forces.
He noted that the format and organizational structure of the IRGC Navy enable it to successfully manage combat operations independently for an extended period of time.
He further emphasized that the IRGC Navy possesses all the necessary components to conduct a full-scale war. These include anti-ship ballistic missiles with pinpoint accuracy, as well as cruise missiles with a wide range of capabilities.
The general highlighted that the modern and advanced drones currently available to the IRGC Navy have provided commanders with the capacity to design and implement various types of strike operations with a high degree of flexibility.
Doctrine of Retaliation: Any Origin of Aggression Will Become a Target
In addition to showcasing Iran’s military capabilities, Major General Salami warned Iran’s enemies against making strategic miscalculations.
He asserted that the clear and powerful display of Iran’s military strength is intended to deter adversaries from taking aggressive actions or making errors in judgment.
The general explained that a key principle of the IRGC’s defense doctrine is the implementation of retaliatory strikes directed at the origin of any hostile threat to Iran’s interests.
He issued a stern warning that any location in any country that is used as a launch point for aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran will be identified and treated as a military target. In other words, the geographical origin of any attack on Iran will become the precise destination of Iran’s retaliatory response. (PW)
