IRGC: Washington has placed itself at the frontline of aggression

IRGC Statement in Condemnation of the U.S. Attack on Iran’s Peaceful Nuclear Centers:

In the Name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

To the proud and heroic people of Iran:

In the early hours of today, the criminal U.S. regime, in full coordination with the Zionist regime, committed a blatant and unprecedented act of aggression by launching an illegal military strike against the peaceful nuclear facilities of the Islamic Republic of Iran — a clear violation of the UN Charter, international law, the NPT treaty, and the fundamental principles of respect for national sovereignty and territorial integrity.

From the very first moments of the Zionist regime’s operation, it was clear to Iran’s Armed Forces that the U.S. had played a comprehensive role in planning and executing the aggression. Once again, this action has proven the aggressors’ inability to alter realities on the ground. They possess neither the initiative nor the ability to escape the consequences of a severe response.

America’s repetition of its failed miscalculations only highlights its strategic weakness and disregard for the facts on the ground. Instead of learning from repeated failures, Washington has now directly placed itself at the frontlines of aggression by attacking peaceful infrastructure.

By God’s grace, with the comprehensive intelligence surveillance of the Iranian Armed Forces, the flight paths of aircraft involved in the aggression have been identified and are under close monitoring.

As we have repeatedly stated: the number, dispersion, and size of U.S. military bases in the region are not strengths — they are vulnerabilities, and their exposure is now doubled.

We firmly state that Iran’s indigenous and peaceful nuclear technology cannot be eliminated by any military strike. On the contrary, this attack will only strengthen the resolve of Iran’s young and committed scientists to pursue further development and progress.

The great nation of Iran — and indeed the world — clearly understands that the IRGC is fully familiar with the landscape of this imposed, hybrid, and full-scale war. We will never be intimidated by the noise and threats of Trump or the criminal cliques ruling the White House and Tel Aviv.

In response to this aggression and these crimes, Operation True Promise 3 — which has already reached its 20th wave against the Zionist regime — will continue with precision, focus, and devastating impact on the regime’s infrastructure, strategic sites, and vital interests.

Furthermore, today’s aggression by the terrorist American regime entitles the Islamic Republic of Iran, under the framework of its legitimate right to self-defense, to adopt measures beyond the enemy’s delusional calculations. The aggressors must prepare for painful and regret-inducing responses.

With reliance on the power of Almighty God, under the guidance of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief, with the support of the great Iranian nation, and alongside the Islamic Resistance Front and freedom-seekers across the world, we stand firm in defending Iran’s dignity and security — and, by God’s grace, we will witness historic victories for Iran, for Iranians, and for the broader Islamic Ummah.

"And victory is only from Allah, the Almighty, the Wise."
