Any ceasefire violations will be met with a firm and immediate response, the Iranian Army declared on Saturday, while vowing to maintain full combat readiness and framing the latest conflict as a "historic victory of resistance over foreign aggression."
In an official statement, the Army said the "enemy had been forced to accept a ceasefire and pursue dialogue as a direct result of the Iranian people's steadfastness, the sacrifices of the armed forces, and the unified leadership of the late Supreme Leader and the current Commander-in-Chief."
"The resistance and steadfastness of the Iranian people have once again manifested themselves" against global arrogance, the statement read.
National unity, cohesion will pave way for more victories
The Army emphasized that national unity and cohesion would pave the way for "increasing glory and future victories," while asserting that both the regular army and the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps remain fully alert, with "eyes wide open and fingers on the trigger," awaiting orders from the Leader.
The Army further stressed that it would continue to enhance its combat capabilities day by day and reiterated its readiness "to sacrifice lives in defense of Iran's security, dignity, and national interests," warning explicitly that "any breach of commitments by the enemy would not go unanswered."
The statement comes closely after Iran and the United States reached a ceasefire agreement on June 12, which called for the halt of aggression on all fronts, including Lebanon. Yet, "Israel" continues to launch strikes on Lebanon, in full violation of all ceasefire agreements.
Ghalibaf warns breaches of ceasefire will be met with forceful response
Echoing these statements, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf has affirmed his commitment to implementing the recently reached agreement with the United States, while warning that any breach or bad-faith action by Washington would be met with a forceful response.
In a post on X, Ghalibaf said Iranian officials stand ready to carry out the directives of the Leader regarding the accord. "We are at your command; the task assigned to us by the Supreme Leader is to pursue the realization of the conditions and clauses of the agreement," he wrote.
However, the parliament speaker struck a sharply confrontational tone when addressing the possibility of US violations. "In the event of bad faith, breach of contract, and excessive demands by the opposing side, we have no hesitation in delivering a crushing response to the enemy," Ghalibaf stated.
He also invoked the US-Israeli war on Iran to underscore his warning, adding, "They were once slapped during the war; if they wish to tread that path again, they will receive an even harder slap."
