Tehran: The General Staff of Iran’s Armed Forces has reaffirmed support for the administration, pledging to confront any threats against the Islamic Republic with greater force than before.

According to Islamic Republic News Agency, the statement was released on Monday, coinciding with Administration Week, and commended the ‘tireless and dedicated efforts’ of President Masoud Pezeshkian and his cabinet in serving the people and advancing the objectives of the Islamic Revolution.

The statement emphasized the unity between the country’s Armed Forces, administration, and nation as a critical factor in overcoming challenges. It assured that with strengthened unity, empathy, and synergy with the people and officials, especially the president, the Armed Forces would deal more forcefully with threats from enemies of the country and the Islamic Revolution.

The Armed Forces expressed gratitude for the guidance of Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, pledging to continue enhancing Iran’s defensive and deterrent capabilities. They committed to defending the nation’s interests, territorial integrity, and the essence of the Islamic Republic.

The statement also rejected attempts by the ‘system of arrogance’ to sow discord through ‘false portrayals and distortion of realities,’ maintaining that the Iranian people remain united and vigilant against enemy plots. It criticized US leaders and the ‘ignorant prime minister of the usurping and child-killing Zionist regime’ for attempting to exploit divisions after their ‘defeat in the 12-day imposed war.’

The conflict saw Israel launch assaults against Iran on June 13, with the US later joining and bombing three of Iran’s main nuclear facilities under the pretext of preventing nuclear weapons development. The war halted on June 24 after Israel unilaterally ceased its aggression.

The Armed Forces warned that any attempts at sowing division and discord would play into the hands of the Zionists and the United States. Concluding the message, the General Staff expressed appreciation for the Iranian people’s support and vowed unwavering defense of the nation, declaring readiness to confront any adventurism and threat decisively.
