WANA (Jun 26) – In a detailed statement marking the conclusion of the imposed war by the Israeli military against Iran, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) declared the culmination of a historic and multi-layered retaliation campaign, emphasizing that the final blow was delivered by Iran’s aerospace forces. The IRGC vowed continued resistance until the full expulsion of U.S. forces from the region and the dismantling of the Israeli regime, which it described as essential for lasting peace in West Asia.

The full text of  final and detailed statement of Iran’s IRGC regarding the imposed war by the israeli regime against Iran is as follows:

 

“In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
There is no power and no strength except with God, the Most High, the Almighty

 

To the brave and heroic people of Iran and the noble families of the fallen:

 

Your sons and devoted servants in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, following the aggression of the Zionist military into Iran’s airspace and the initiation of a war of aggression against the Islamic Republic, responded to the call of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief. With the unwavering support of the Iranian people, they launched a calculated and powerful campaign under the name “Truthful Promise 3”, carried out in 22 intense, sustained, and multi-layered waves. These operations targeted a diverse and expansive array of military objectives in the occupied territories of Quds (Jerusalem), once again proving that the courageous soldiers of the homeland do not leave any aggression unanswered. Relying on divine assistance, high resolve, and a firm response, they shattered and mocked the delusion that Iran would ever surrender.

 

We honor the memory of the martyrs of this imposed war and send peace upon their noble spirits. During the 12-day sacred defense campaign of the Iranian nation, fallen commanders such as Lt. Gen. Mohammad Bagheri, Lt. Gen. Gholamali Rashid, Lt. Gen. Hossein Salami, Lt. Gen. Ali Shadmani, Maj. Gen. Amirali Hajizadeh, and other martyred commanders, scientists, and civilians—including women and children—shone like radiant suns, guiding this struggle. They embodied the path of self-sacrifice for the homeland and the Islamic Revolution, a path walked by all true men of God.

 

We express our deep reverence and loyalty to the unparalleled people of Iran—especially the martyr families—His Eminence the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Imam Khamenei, the esteemed religious authorities, the heads of the three branches of government—particularly the President and his Cabinet—academics, the diplomatic corps, national media, social media activists, political groups, and medical and rescue personnel. These national assets stood alongside the armed forces, shined brightly, and became eternal in history.

 

In line with the values of the 8-year Sacred Defense, the Iranian people showcased their national dignity, resilient spirit, and internal unity in this victorious historic confrontation. The result of this unity and struggle was the embodiment of a “Strong Iran” and a decisive blow to the calculations of global powers against the Iranian nation and the Islamic Republic.

 

The composure, wisdom, and firmness of the Supreme Leader from the very first day of this imposed war played a vital role in forming a national mobilization against the aggressors. His leadership reminded us of the unique role of imamate in the unity of the Islamic system. It is within this great nation and under such leadership that the brave sons of the armed forces find the courage to fight in a historic, civilization-shaping battle.

 

The IRGC stands humbled in attempting to describe the selfless, unparalleled, and historic efforts of the armed forces—especially the fearless members of its Aerospace Division, missile units, dedicated Basij forces, unknown intelligence operatives, and air defense warriors. Only martyrdom could ever serve as the true reward for such devotion.

 

Key outcomes of this confrontation included the strengthening of national unity and social capital, increased public trust in the armed forces, boosted morale and self-confidence among military personnel, the identification and neutralization of domestic sabotage networks, rising prestige of Iran among Islamic nations, growing international recognition of Iran’s legitimate stance, the collapse of delusional regime-change narratives, the preservation of nuclear and missile defense infrastructure, and the unraveling of Israel’s costly and multilayered defense systems. It also triggered a survival crisis within the occupying regime, shattered the myth of Israeli military invincibility, and sparked new hope among oppressed peoples worldwide to continue resisting global arrogance.

 

The entry of the already-defeated and criminal U.S. military into the battlefield, in an attempt to rescue the Zionist army, failed to change the dynamics of the battle. In response, Iran’s retaliatory missile strike on the American Al-Udeid base in Qatar, under the name “Operation Good News of Victory”, reaffirmed Iran’s military dominance and sent a fresh message of strength.

 

It must be emphasized that the initiator of this imposed war was the Zionist terrorist army. However, its conclusion was brought about by the brave children of the Iranian armed forces—especially the IRGC Aerospace Division—through the 22nd wave of Operation Truthful Promise 3. Their final strike was so devastating that it forced the “enemy’s ceasefire howl” to emerge from the throat of the brutal Zionist regime and the delusional President of the United States.

 

Once again, seeking divine assistance, we pledge before the heroic nation of Iran and the revered families of the martyrs that we shall never relent in pursuing two unwavering strategic objectives of the IRGC: the expulsion of occupying U.S. forces from the region and the dismantling of the child-killing Zionist regime. True stability and peace in the region depend on these two righteous goals. We will never let go of the enemy’s throat, and we will not hesitate in executing continuous retribution until these objectives are fulfilled.

 

“Victory comes only from Allah, the Almighty, the Wise.” “
