TEHRAN- The Commander-in-Chief of the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps announced that IRGC will not hesitate to enter war in support of Muslims if needed.

Major General Hossein Salami made the remarks on Wednesday, during a ceremony commemorating the martyrs of the Ramazan garrison, which was an IRGC base during an Iraq-Iraq war 

“Operation True Promise showed that Iran takes action when needed. We won’t sit idly by and watch others act. If needed, we will support [Resistance] and enter war,” he stated. 

Operation True Promise was carried out in April in response to the Zionist regime's attack on the Iranian consulate in Damascus, demonstrating Iran’s red lines for its enemies.

Elsewhere in his remarks, Salami emphasized the active role of Martyr Soleimani in establishing peace and regional security and pointed out, “Martyr Qassem Soleimani labored from street to street and alley to alley to liberate oppressed Muslim nations, and the shedding of the blood of Martyr Abu Mahdi with Martyr Soleimani shows that Islam does not recognize borders when it comes to defending the oppressed.”

Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani was Iran’s anti-terror icon who spearheaded the fight against Daesh terrorists in Iraq and Syria during the 2010s. He was assassinated during a U.S. drone attack on Baghdad airport in 2020.
