Iran will respond with a "crushing retaliation" to any future attack on its territory, the spokesperson for the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC), Brigadier General Ali Mohammad Naeini, said in a warning issued during an interview with Al Mayadeen.

“There will be no red lines for us if another act of aggression is committed,” Naeini declared, emphasizing that the Islamic Republic’s swift military response to the recent war has “thwarted enemy calculations.”

Enemies failed to achieve objectives

Brigadier General Naeini asserted that the Israeli occupation's central goal was the destruction of the Islamic Republic’s power, but he claimed that the offensive failed to achieve any strategic results. “Wars are judged by the achievement of objectives, and the enemy failed to meet a single one,” he said.

He revealed that the primary objective of the war was to weaken, fragment, and subjugate Iran. However, he stressed that “none of these goals were realized,” adding that the Iranian system emerged intact and determined.

According to Naeini, the enemy resorted to military confrontation only after exhausting its diplomatic options. “Their shift to military action shows they lack a true understanding of Iran’s system,” he said.

Over 2,000 missiles and drones launched at "Israel"

The IRGC spokesperson stated that Iran launched more than 2,000 missiles and drones toward the occupied Palestinian territories during the war, and that “a large number of these hit their targets with precision.”

Naeini also rejected suggestions that the killing of Iranian commanders had succeeded in destabilizing Iran’s leadership. “Targeting our commanders did not disrupt our chain of command; to the contrary, our response was swift and organized,” he said.

He concluded by asking, “Who is living in fear now? Iran or its enemies?” answering definitively: “It is our enemies who fear the scale of Iran’s devastating response if another attack occurs.”

'Israel' failed in achieving objectives

Ali Larijani, senior advisor to the Leader of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, stated that the Israeli regime and the United States conspired to overthrow the Iranian government within less than a week. He said that "Israel" and the US were convinced they could dismantle the Islamic Republic in just five or six days, and Netanyahu's primary objective was to force the Iranian people into submission.

Larijani further explained that the conspiracy involved more than just attacks aimed at Iran's leadership, revealing that after plotting to eliminate the heads of the three branches of government, Israel had plans to escalate their efforts by assassinating the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Sayyed Ali Khamenei.

The senior advisor further stressed that this scheme demonstrated a fundamental misjudgment of Iran's resilience, noting that "The Zionist enemy and the United States failed to grasp the culture and historical depth of the Iranian people."

Larijani pointed to a critical shift in the confrontation that occurred on Saturday, June 21, when third-party mediators stepped in, explaining that "They realized Israel had reached a dead end." He noted that within two days, by Monday, June 23, Tel Aviv was desperately seeking a way to impose a ceasefire.
