WANA (Jun 29) – The Commander of Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters has emphasized that the country’s Armed Forces, operating under the leadership of the Commander-in-Chief, stand fully prepared to defend the territorial integrity of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Iranian people. He stressed that they will not hesitate for a moment in achieving the ideals of the “martyrs” and in confronting any aggression.

 

The full statement by the Commander of the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters is as follows:

 

“O dear, brave, and perceptive nation of Islamic Iran, your historic unity and solidarity—demonstrated during the 12-day imposed war and more recently in the massive turnout for the funerals of the martyrs of national strength—have once again disrupted the dreams of the Zionist enemy and its criminal American master.

 

I express my sincere gratitude to the millions of insightful and aware Iranians who took part in the funeral processions for our heroic martyrs. I assure you that your sons in the Armed Forces, under the wise, brave, and prudent leadership of the Commander-in-Chief, are on full alert and will not delay for a moment in defending the territorial integrity of Islamic Iran and its beloved people, in pursuit of the aspirations of the martyrs, and in confronting any form of aggression.

 

The vigilant and courageous people of Iran have proven to the enemy that in the face of any bullying, aggression, and savagery—especially from criminal America and the failing Zionist regime—they become even more united.

 

Through complete coordination, solidarity, and empathy, they have succeeded in demoralizing their enemies. This unparalleled Iranian strength was never factored into the enemy’s calculations. That is why, over the past 47 years since the Islamic Revolution, they have endured repeated defeats.

 

During the Sacred Defense era, Iran’s Armed Forces showed the world that even with empty hands, but with strong divine will, they could overcome their enemies. Today, alongside that enduring spiritual resolve, they are equipped with advanced, indigenous military and defense technologies. With these tools, they have delivered painful responses to the aggressors—responses whose effects, despite widespread media censorship, have not escaped global attention.

 

Every day, new dimensions of this historic retaliation are becoming more apparent, to the extent that the aggressive U.S. government has resorted to pleading in order to rescue its cancerous tumor in the region, acknowledging Iran’s powerful determination and requesting an end to hostilities.

 

O noble Iranian nation! As the U.S. and the Zionist enemy have repeatedly shown, they abide by no legal, ethical, or international standards. Their dark history in the region confirms that no promise or commitment from them can be trusted. But if they have any sense, the recent days of warfare should have taught them this lesson:
‘O fly, the realm of the Simorgh is no place for you to roam.’

 

The Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran are now fully vigilant, monitoring all enemy movements. They are fully prepared to confront any aggression and, if such violations are repeated, will respond even more forcefully.”
