Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) issued an explosive and unyielding statement on Sunday, vowing relentless retaliation in response to the US and Israeli airstrikes on Iranian territory. The strongly worded declaration served as a clear warning that US aggression would be met with forceful and far-reaching consequences.

This comes after US President Donald Trump confirmed on Sunday that American forces carried out strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites, stating that a full payload was dropped on Fordow.

“The flight paths of the aircraft involved in the aggression have been identified and are currently under surveillance,” the statement read, signaling that Iran is closely tracking potential targets for future strikes.

In a tone brimming with defiance, the IRGC declared that “US military bases in the region are not a strength, but rather a point of vulnerability,” casting Washington’s regional footprint as an exposed liability.

The IRGC confirmed that its retaliatory operations would continue with “unparalleled precision and overwhelming power,” explicitly targeting key infrastructure and strategic sites belonging to the Israeli entity. The statement left no room for doubt: “The invaders must now brace for responses that will make them regret their actions.”

Reaffirming Iran’s resilience in the face of foreign pressure, the IRGC dismissed speculation about damage to the country’s nuclear program. “We strongly affirm that Iran’s peaceful nuclear technology cannot be destroyed by any attack,” it stated.

Lashing out at Western leadership, the IRGC blasted US and Israeli officials as morally bankrupt and politically unhinged, declaring: “We are not frightened by Trump’s noise, nor by the criminal gangs that control the White House and Tel Aviv.”

In a thunderous conclusion, the IRGC proclaimed that “America no longer holds the initiative and cannot escape the repercussions of a forceful Iranian response,” signaling a dramatic escalation in rhetoric and resolve. In short, the message made it clear that Tehran views this moment as a pivotal turning point in the balance of power and is fully prepared to confront its adversaries head-on.

Wave 20 of Operation True Promise 3 launched: IRGC

Earlier today, the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) announced the launch of the 20th wave of Operation True Promise 3, targeting key sites across the occupied territories with a combination of long-range ballistic missiles utilizing advanced strike tactics.

IRGC spokesperson Major General Naeini announced that the latest phase of the operation employed missiles powered by both liquid and solid propellants, equipped with high-impact warheads and enhanced features specifically designed to bypass enemy air defense systems.

The IRGC confirmed that the targets struck during this wave included Ben Gurion Airport, a biological research facility, and command, control, and logistical support bases at multiple levels.

Naeini described the operation as a continued part of Iran’s strategic military response to the coordinated aggression by the United States and the Israeli occupation. 

IRGC details Wave 20 of Operation True Promise 3, unveils advanced missile tactics

Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) has released new details regarding the 20th wave of Operation True Promise 3, confirming the launch of 40 ballistic missiles with enhanced capabilities and unveiling the use of a new generation of weaponry.

In an official statement, the IRGC announced that the latest round of missile strikes involved both solid- and liquid-fueled ballistic missiles, marking a tactical escalation in Iran’s military response to recent US and Israeli aggression.

Significantly, the operation featured the first combat deployment of the third-generation Kheibar-Shekan multi-warhead ballistic missile, a development the IRGC described as a major advancement in strike capabilities.

According to the statement, the missiles used in this wave were equipped with highly destructive, maneuverable warheads capable of being guided all the way to impact. The IRGC noted that the warheads are designed to penetrate enemy defenses and detonate with devastating effect.

“We have adopted new and surprising tactics to achieve more precise, destructive, and effective strikes,” the IRGC stated, adding that the use of advanced guidance and terminal maneuverability caught the enemy off guard.

In a notable assertion, the IRGC said that air raid sirens in the targeted areas sounded only after the missiles had already hit their targets, contributing to confusion and disruption among enemy forces. The timing, they said, caused “the enemy to lose its balance.”

The IRGC concluded by emphasizing that the full strength of Iran’s military capabilities has not yet been revealed. “The most significant capabilities of the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran in this sacred defense have not yet been deployed,” the statement warned.
