Iranian Armed Forces Declare Heightened Preparedness for National Defense
The commander of Iran's Khatam al-Anbia Central Headquarters has declared that the nation's armed forces are fully prepared and committed to defending the country with heightened vigilance and strength.
Maj. Gen. Abdullahi, the commander of Khatam al-Anbia Central Headquarters, stated on Thursday via his X account that the unity of Iranians during the 12-day conflict prompted the Zionist adversary and the United States to advance their aggressive objectives against the nation.
The Khatam al-Anbia commander stated that the armed forces remain ever vigilant in safeguarding the nation, its security, and the accomplishments of the Islamic Revolution. The commander emphasized that today, the military forces demonstrate a heightened state of preparedness and have achieved greater milestones compared to the period following the recent imposed conflict.
He stated that adversaries are attempting to escalate tensions within the nation through psychological and media warfare, all while grappling with numerous issues on domestic, regional, and international fronts.
On June 13, Israel carried out a series of targeted operations against Iran, resulting in the deaths of several high-ranking military officials, nuclear scientists, and civilians. Tehran condemned these actions as acts of aggression.
In response, the Iranian Armed Forces, spearheaded by the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), initiated a formidable and unparalleled retaliatory campaign called Operation True Promise III against the Israeli regime, deploying a significant array of newly developed, domestically produced missiles for the first time.
A barrage of hundreds of Iranian ballistic missiles and drones successfully breached Israeli air defense systems, targeting vital military, intelligence, industrial, energy, and research and development facilities throughout the occupied Palestinian territories.
On June 24, the Israeli government, facing isolation, announced a unilateral cessation of its operations, with the announcement made on its behalf by Trump.
