The security of the entire region will be at risk if Iran's security is threatened, warned Major General Mohammad Bagheri, Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, on Wednesday.
"If Iran's security is threatened, the security of the entire Southwest Asian region, the creators of insecurity and their regional allies will be threatened," Bagheri told reporters.
"In the case of any mistake by the enemy, the security of the Zionist regime and those who participated in its equipment and operational planning will be put in danger," he underlined.
Emphasizing Iran’s defense readiness, the major general emphasized that "Iran's air defense is at the apex of its preparedness," noting that "the minor damage it sustained has been fully repaired," referring to the Israeli aggression on the country's air defense systems last October.
Bagheri also underscored Iran’s military advancements, noting that the country's missile production continues uninterrupted, at "very high quantity and quality."
Operation True Promise III will inevitably take place: IRGC
Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, the commander of the IRGC's Aerospace Forces, underlined Tuesday that Operation True Promise III will inevitably take place, referring to Iran's retaliatory operation against "Israel".
"Just as True Promise I and II were fulfilled, True Promise III will definitely be fulfilled," Hajizadeh said, adding that "this is people's demand and we will not forget it."
He cautioned adversaries against targeting Iran’s nuclear facilities, stressing that they "must know what action we will take against them."
"A fire will break out in the region whose dimensions and scope cannot be calculated. For this reason, the enemies absolutely do not want such a thing," the commander warned, adding that Iran’s adversaries do not dare to launch an attack against the country.
Hajizadeh underscored that Iran is not "vulnerable" in military terms, pointing out that in the field of drones, the country has moved beyond imitation—now, other countries are replicating Iranian designs and using them as a model.
Following Iran’s two retaliatory operations, Israeli warplanes, using US-controlled airspace over Iraq, launched strikes on Iranian military installations in Tehran, Khuzestan, and Ilam provinces on October 26.
Iran stated that its air defense systems successfully intercepted the attack, limiting the damage to radar sites. However, five people—including four army officers and one civilian—were killed.
In response to this latest Israeli aggression, Iran has vowed to proceed with Operation True Promise III.
