IRGC: Crushing Response Awaits if Attacks on Hezbollah and Lebanon Continue
Iran’s Armed Forces warn of decisive retaliation, affirm full readiness, and vow to defend national rights as U.S.–Israeli pressure fails to deter the Resistance.
Iran, PUREWILAYAH.COM — The Central Headquarters of Khatam al-Anbiya (pbuh) announced that the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran remain in full operational readiness, warning that continued aggression by the United States and Israel will be met with a decisive and painful response.
The statement, issued under the directive of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution and Commander-in-Chief, emphasized that repeated violations by American and Zionist actors have only reinforced Iran’s military preparedness.
“We declare that due to the repeated breaches of commitments by the American and Zionist enemies in the past, the Armed Forces… remain… in full readiness and with fingers on the trigger.”
Resistance Strength Exposes the Limits of U.S.–Israeli Power
The statement underscored that despite sustained aggression, the enemy failed to impose its will during the forty-day confrontation, suffering setbacks against what it described as the “unexpected capabilities” of Resistance fighters.
“Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu would do well to once again review their disgraceful defeat… in the forty-day imposed war, in the face of the crushing blows and the unexpected capabilities of the self-sacrificing fighters of Islam.”
According to the statement, advanced indigenous weapons and technologies—developed by Iranian scientists—played a decisive role in challenging and defeating what it called the “so-called superior armies” of the United States and Israel.
Hormuz and Strategic Control: Iran Will Not Relinquish Its Rights
Iran’s Armed Forces made clear that strategic control over key waterways remains a non-negotiable priority, particularly regarding the Strait of Hormuz.
“We will usher the management of the Strait of Hormuz into a new phase… and we will never relinquish our legitimate rights.”
The declaration signals Tehran’s intent to maintain initiative in one of the world’s most critical energy corridors, reinforcing its broader deterrence posture.
Warning on Lebanon: Any Continued Attacks Will Trigger Retaliation
The statement delivered a direct warning regarding Lebanon, stressing that continued attacks—especially targeting Hezbollah and civilians—would not go unanswered.
“Given the unity of the Resistance Front, if the enemy’s attacks against Hezbollah and the oppressed people of Lebanon… continue, we will deliver a crushing and painful response.”
The warning reflects growing regional coordination within the Resistance Axis, positioning any escalation in Lebanon as a trigger for broader confrontation.
Unity, Vigilance, and the Continuation of Resistance
Concluding the statement, Iran called on its people to remain united and vigilant in the face of attempts to sow division, emphasizing the central role of public resilience in sustaining the Resistance.
“We call upon the Islamic nation of Iran to remain vigilant… and to preserve their courageous, mujahid, and unifying presence in the battlefield and the streets.”
The message reinforces a broader strategic posture: that sustained unity between the state, armed forces, and the people remains the decisive factor in confronting external pressure and securing long-term victory.
Full Statement:
In the Name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Headquarters of Khatam al-Anbiya (pbuh)
In adherence to the profound, enemy-defeating, and spirit-uplifting message of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution and Commander-in-Chief (may his shadow endure), we declare that due to the repeated breaches of commitments by the American and Zionist enemies in the past, the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran remain, as during the Third Imposed War and the forty days of asymmetric battle, in full readiness and with fingers on the trigger.
The criminal leaders of America and the child-killing Zionist regime, along with their defeated commanders and military forces, have no right to threaten the victorious, strong, and heroic nation of Iran and the invincible front of the Islamic Resistance.
Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu would do well to once again review their disgraceful defeat—and that of their forces—in the forty-day imposed war, in the face of the crushing blows and the unexpected capabilities of the self-sacrificing fighters of Islam, and refrain from threatening the mujahid nation of Iran and the steadfast fighters of the Armed Forces and the Resistance Front.
The American and Zionist enemies should recall what they witnessed on the battlefield during the forty-day war: that the proud and honorable Armed Forces, backed and supported by the mujahid people and guided by the wise leadership of the Commander-in-Chief (may his shadow endure), and through the deployment of advanced, innovative, and fully indigenous weapons, equipment, and technologies—developed by the youth and scientists of this country—challenged and forced into defeat the so-called superior armies of the United States and the Zionist regime, and, relying on Almighty God, forced them into submission.
As our beloved Leader has stated, we declare: we will never abandon the criminal aggressors who attacked our country. We will usher the management of the Strait of Hormuz into a new phase and will maintain the initiative in exercising control over this strategic passage, and we will never relinquish our legitimate rights. Given the unity of the Resistance Front, if the enemy’s attacks against Hezbollah and the oppressed people of Lebanon—especially in Dahiyeh—continue, we will deliver a crushing and painful response.
We call upon the Islamic nation of Iran to remain vigilant against the enemy’s attempts at sowing division and discord, and to preserve their courageous, mujahid, and unifying presence in the battlefield and the streets. (FG)
