In a statement 40 days later by Iranian military commander Martian, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, stressed that the threat to Iran’s security will be met with a decisive response beyond the imagination of the enemy.
The IRGC, along with other branches of Iranian military, is always ready to provide a solid, regrettable response to threats and attacks by the US, the Zionist regime, and its allies.
We have loudly and powerfully declared that the threat to the country’s security and territorial integrity would go beyond the imagination of our enemies and face a much harsher response than what attackers experienced in Operation True Promise 3.
The Zionist regime fought a war of aggression against Iran on June 13, attacking Iranian troops, nuclear power and residential areas for 12 days, but the US launched a military attack on three nuclear sites in Iran, Natanz, Fordau and Isfahan on June 22.
Iranian troops carried out a powerful counterattack shortly after the attack. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Aerospace Force implemented 22 waves of retaliation missiles against the Zionist regime as part of Operation True Promise III, which caused significant losses to cities throughout the occupying territories.
In response to the US attack, Iranian forces fired waves of missiles at Aldead Air Force Base in Qatar, the largest US military base in West Asia.
The battle was suspended due to a ceasefire that came into effect on June 24th.
