Tehran: The chief commander of the Tehran division of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) announced that the Iranian Armed Forces' special operations units are fully prepared to respond swiftly to any acts of aggression across the country. Brigadier General Hassan Hassanzadeh made these remarks during the drills conducted by the special IRGC teams.

According to Islamic Republic News Agency, General Hassanzadeh declared the end of Iran's defensive stance against its adversaries, signaling a shift towards offensive operations. He emphasized that these decisive actions would hasten the decline of the United States and the Israeli regime. This strategic pivot marks a significant turning point in Iran's military doctrine, which, as the General noted, will soon be evident to its enemies.

General Hassanzadeh paid tribute to the martyrs of the 12-Day War, the Ramadan War, and the Battle of Hormuz, highlighting the failure of US-Israeli forces in achieving their objectives during the imposed conflicts. He remarked that those who once predicted the downfall of the Islamic Republic now grapple with anxiety, faced with the formidable strength of the IRGC's navy and aerospace forces, as well as the army of the Islamic Republic.

The IRGC commander underscored the Armed Forces' advancements in missile, drone, and naval technology, attributing their success to firm faith, belief in divine victory, and adherence to the legacy of martyrs. He asserted that this technological prowess effectively thwarts the enemy's ambitions.

Furthermore, General Hassanzadeh highlighted the 'Janfadaa (self-sacrifice) for Iran' movement, acknowledging the people's readiness to defend their nation. He praised the public's active presence in various communal spaces, which he claims has significantly weakened the adversary.
