The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) issued a statement expressing strong support for a message from the Leader of the Islamic Revolution and Republic, Sayyed Mojtaba Khamenei, emphasizing national unity and pledging continued backing for state officials.

In its statement, the IRGC said it was grateful for the Leader's message, which strengthened unity among the public, boosted morale among those “who have risen in the field and the fighters on the battlefronts,” and served as “a precious asset for our statesmen in their pursuit of securing the rights of the nation.”

It also described the message as wise, saying it reinforced cohesion and encouraged resistance forces to preserve their "victorious achievements".

Battlefield gains and political implications

The IRGC stated that, following recent developments, Iran’s adversaries had been forced to retreat from their stated objectives, including attempts to "erase Iran from the map" and return it "to a pre-historic era". It added that these developments had pushed opponents from confrontation toward "requesting and pleading for understanding and negotiations".

The statement argued that political efforts should mirror battlefield gains, saying the expectation of the nation and fighters is that the political arena should become "an extension of that glorious battlefield" and lead to securing national rights. "The noble nation and the fighters of Islam stand like a steadfast mountain in support of their statesmen", the IRGC said.

The statement added that if adversaries continue "covenant-breaking" behavior or pursue "excessive demands" and violations of Iran’s rights, the IRGC remains prepared across land, sea, air, and hybrid warfare domains.

It warned that "At the slightest signal from that courageous and wise commander, it will be ready to impose upon them a far greater historic defeat."
