The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has warned that any new act of aggression against Iran will be met with a response “beyond the enemies’ expectations” and at a level of strategic deterrence, following a recent US aggression in southern Isfahan province.

In a statement issued on Saturday, the IRGC said the US action was “a repetition of the humiliation of the White House and the destined defeat of Global Arrogance by the Iranian nation.”
The statement coincided with the anniversary of the failed US military operation known as “Operation Eagle Claw” in Tabas, eastern Iran, in 1980.
Referring to the “third imposed American-Zionist war,” the IRGC praised the “great victory” of the Iranian nation and addressed the current phase of “silence in the ongoing military battle.”
It emphasized that the “powerful and intelligent silence” of Iran’s armed forces, implemented under the direction of the Leader and commander-in-chief, “is not a sign of weakness.”
The statement warned that this restraint “can at any moment, in the event of miscalculation and any renewed aggressive action by the warmongering and oath-breaking enemy, become the prelude to a ‘hellish storm’ against them.”
Iran’s territory “extends beyond Tabas and Isfahan” and could become “the field of defeat and humiliation of aggressors,” it added.
The IRGC also urged the United States to “accept reality” and “not make itself more of a plaything in the hands of [Benjamin] Netanyahu, the criminal and child-killing Zionist prime minister.”
US bases in the region have been “burned and destroyed” and are no longer capable of reconstruction, it said, asserting that the only option left for Washington is “the collection of their human and logistical remnants and a rapid and unconditional withdrawal from the region.”
The statement further stressed Iran’s continued military strategy, particularly “management and control of the strategic Strait of Hormuz,” describing it as a “definitive strategy” during and after the current war.
It concluded by reaffirming that Iran will continue its path of “dignity and power” and reiterated that any further aggression “will undoubtedly be met with a response beyond the enemies’ expectations.”
The remarks come amid a ceasefire that took effect on April 8, followed by negotiations between Tehran and Washington, which collapsed due to excessive demands put forward by the US.
The United States and Israel imposed a war of aggression against Iran on February 28, assassinating Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, the father of Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei. Several top military commanders were also assassinated that day.
