TEHRAN – The deputy coordinator of the IRGC Quds Force stated that the Islamic Republic of Iran is committed to supporting the Axis of Resistance with full strength and will deliver a robust response to any provocations from the Zionist regime. 

Major General Iraj Masjedi made these remarks during a commemoration ceremony for martyrs Seyed Hassan Nasrallah, the late secretary general of Hezbollah, and Major General Abbas Nilforoshan, a senior commander of the IRGC Quds Force in Lebanon who lost his life alongside the Hezbollah chief in an Israeli airstrike in September. 

Masjedi conveyed that the gathering signifies the enduring legacy and strength of the martyrs' path, reiterating Iran's position that any threats from the Zionist regime will be met with a powerful response, and such actions should be anticipated.
 
He stressed that it is unacceptable for adversaries to threaten Iran and act against its interests while expecting restraint in return.

IRGC commander affirmed that the Islamic Republic of Iran will provide unwavering support to the Islamic Resistance Front, which includes Hezbollah, Hamas, and other allied forces, and will respond decisively to any aggression from the Zionist enemy.

Any threat against Iran will be met with firm, resolute response

In similar remarks on Wednesday, Admiral Shahram Irani, the Commander of the Islamic Republic of Iran Navy, gave a strong statement regarding the country’s defense capabilities, emphasizing that the armed forces are fully prepared to respond decisively to any potential threats. 

 ‘Tehran will provide unwavering support to the Islamic Resistance Front, which includes Hezbollah, Hamas, and other allied forces’In an interview with Iranian media, held on the sidelines of the National Conference on New Marine Technologies at the Naval University of Noshahr, which focused on Antarctic Studies, Admiral Irani highlighted the heightened readiness of Iran's military forces.

"The current state of readiness and the capabilities of the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran are at a level where any threat posed against our nation will be met with a firm and resolute response," said Admiral Irani. His comments come amid growing regional tensions and global uncertainties, reinforcing Iran's commitment to safeguarding its national security.

On October 1, the Islamic Republic launched approximately 200 missiles targeting the Israeli military, as well as espionage and intelligence bases across the occupied territories, as part of Operation True Promise II. 

This operation was a retaliatory measure following the Israeli regime’s assassinations of prominent Palestinian and Lebanese Resistance leaders, as well as a senior commander from the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC).

Then, in the early hours of October 26, Israel launched attacks on two Iranian border provinces, Ilam and Khuzestan, along with Tehran. However, Iran’s integrated air defense system successfully intercepted and neutralized the aggression.

Iran has made it clear that it will respond to this latest Israeli act of aggression and will not relinquish its rights.

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has also warned the United States and Israel that they will definitely receive a crushing response for their atrocities.

“The enemies, both the US and the Zionist regime, should know that they will definitely receive a teeth-breaking response for what they are doing against Iran and the resistance front,” he said in a meeting earlier in the week.
