IRGC Responds to Israeli Defense Minister’s Threats

WANA (Jul 28) –The spokesman and deputy head of public relations for Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Brigadier General Ali Mohammad Naeini, stated that “Iran’s hard power — both defensive and offensive across various dimensions — has shattered all enemy calculations.” He emphasized that the country’s soft power, rooted in “wise leadership, religious faith of the people, and national unity,” has effectively neutralized hostile plots.

Speaking in response to recent statements made by Israel’s defense minister, Naeini said: “These kinds of remarks are mostly psychological warfare. But the Iranian Armed Forces have never, even for a moment, neglected strengthening their defense readiness.”

He referred to Iran’s previous military operations, such as “True Promise” and the 12-day war, noting: “The enemy is trying to create a sense of anxiety and disturb public psychological security. But they have already tested both our hard and soft power and know the results well.”

He reiterated: “Our hard power includes defensive and offensive capabilities across different domains, which have disrupted all enemy assessments. Our soft power lies in smart leadership, deep-rooted religious beliefs of the people, and national unity — all of which have thwarted their conspiracies.”

The IRGC spokesman added: “During the 12-day war, the Zionist regime was caught in a state of desperation. Had Iran’s missile operations continued with the same intensity, nothing would have remained of that regime today.”

Earlier, Israeli Defense Minister Yisrael Katz had acknowledged his regime’s inability to destroy Iran’s nuclear program, saying: “We must formulate an effective plan to ensure Iran does not revive its nuclear and missile projects.”

He further claimed, once again, that “there is a possibility of another war with Iran.”
