Top General Warns of Iran’s Devastating Response to Hostile Actions
Iran stands fully prepared to deliver a decisive, swift, and regret-inducing response to any threat, aggression, or miscalculation by its enemies, Iran’s highest-ranking military commander said, stressing that any attempt to impose war on the country would end in certain failure.
In a message issued on Saturday on the occasion of Iranian Air Force Day, Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi pointed to the current sensitive conditions and complex domestic and regional developments, particularly following the 12-day war imposed by the US and the Zionist regime in June 2025.
The general said the strategic role of the Iranian Air Force has become more evident than ever in reinforcing active deterrence, enhancing defensive readiness, and responding intelligently to growing enemy threats.
He noted that the Air Force is currently at the highest level of preparedness and, in full coordination with other branches of the Armed Forces, is ready to confront any form of threat or aggression with a firm and forceful response.
The chief of staff emphasized that Iran’s enemies are fully aware that any adventurism or effort to force a war on the Islamic Republic would not only result in their definite and strategic defeat, but would also expand the scope of conflict and crisis across the entire region, imposing heavy and irreparable costs on its planners and supporters.
The commander also stated that Iran would never initiate a war, but stressed that it would not hesitate for a moment in decisively defending its national security, vital interests, and territorial integrity./tasnim
