WANA (Jun 13) – Following the Israeli regime’s criminal assault at dawn today, the Army of the Islamic Republic of Iran issued the following statement:

 

In the Name of God, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful

 

To the free people of Iran, brothers and sisters,

 

The bloodthirsty, tyrannical Zionist regime has launched aerial aggression against the territory of the Islamic Republic of Iran, striking multiple locations. Until now, we have avoided opening the path to war — but the Army of the Islamic Republic, standing alongside the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), will not tolerate the atrocities of these child-killers or the spilling of innocent Iranian blood. We will deliver a bitter lesson to Netanyahu.

 

Our dear people are urged to remain calm and composed. Do not believe any rumors potentially spread by agents of this regime. Avoid approaching military bases and await instructions regarding any general mobilization, should it be issued by the Supreme Leader.

 

At this moment, the Army and IRGC forces are actively engaged in aerial combat.

 

Further updates will be shared with the Iranian nation in due course.
