TEHRAN - The second-in-command of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has emphasized the readiness of Iran's armed forces to swiftly respond to any hostile actions, citing extensive advancements in defensive and military capabilities over the years.

Brigadier General Ali Fadavi highlighted the tangible impact of Iran's recent drone and missile attack on Israel, dubbed Operation ‘True Promise,’ noting the palpable unease it instilled among American and Zionist circles.

Fadavi delved into the multifaceted success of the operation, underscoring its strategic and tactical prowess in underscoring the dominance of Iran against adversarial forces, surpassing anticipated outcomes.

Commenting on the aftermath of Operation True Promise, the Iranian General pointed to a shifting regional dynamic favoring righteous causes while casting a shadow over American and Zionist interests.

He credited the resilience of the Resistance fighters across Gaza, Yemen, Lebanon, Palestine, and Iraq for displaying courage and continuing the fight toward a just cause.

Fadavi emphasized the historic significance of Iran's triumph in Operation True Promise, asserting that the era of impunity for the United Staes, Israel, and their associates in the region is over, given the unprecedented nature of the strike after decades of Zionist occupation.

Reiterating Iran's preparedness to counter potential threats, Fadavi reaffirmed the heightened state of readiness of Iran's armed forces, poised to safeguard national borders and territories, with a steadfast resolve to emerge victorious against all adversaries, particularly along the nation's frontiers, with divine assistance.

Shortly before midnight Sunday, Iran launched a swarm of drones and missiles at the occupied Palestinian territories in response to the Zionist regime’s cowardly strike on Iran’s consulate in Damascus on April 1st.

The Israeli airstrikes on Iran’s embassy in Damascus had killed two generals of the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps, Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Zahedi and General Mohammad Hadi Haji Rahimi, as well as five of their accompanying officers.

Following the operation, Iran warned Israel against taking any retaliatory actions and urged the United States to try not to involve itself in the conflict.
