IRGC: US Failed to Change Equation of Battlefield or Challenge Iran’s Upper Hand Against Israel
The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) announced that Iran's Armed Forces carried out a series of powerful and multi-layered military operations against Israel across the occupied territories during the recent war, stressing that the entry of the US military into the battlefield to save Israel also failed to change the equation of the battlefield.
The IRGC issued a statement on Thursday, saying the decisive military response ultimately by Iran compelled “criminal” Israel and the “already-defeated” United States to “cry out for a ceasefire".The multi-layered military operation aimed to punish the aggressor and assert Iran’s strength, the statement added, stressing that the crushing strikes led to key strategic gains, including weakening the enemy’s defenses, boosting domestic unity and military morale, as well as gaining regional support.“These operations targeted the enemy’s diverse and extensive military assets in the occupied territories of Al-Quds, once again proving that the brave soldiers of the homeland will never leave any aggression unanswered,” the IRGC emphasized.“Even the arrival of the criminal and already-defeated US military to the battlefield to rescue the helpless soldiers of the Zionist army could not change the equation of the battlefield or challenge Iran’s upper hand. Iran’s retaliatory missile strike on the US Al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar under Operation Tidings of Victory once again conveyed Iran’s message of strength,” the IRGC statement read.
It further said that Iran’s crushing response shattered the enemy’s multi-layered and costly defense myth, intensified the survival crisis of the Zionist regime in the occupied territories, disproved the myth of the Zionist army’s invincibility, and inspired oppressed nations across the world to continue their resistance against global oppressors.“It is worth noting that the initiator of the imposed war was the Zionist terrorist army, but its conclusion was written by the brave and proud sons of the nation in the Armed Forces—especially the IRGC Aerospace Force—in the 22nd wave of the Operation True Promise III," the statement read."Their final blow was so devastating that ‘crying out for ceasefire’ emerged from the throat of the bloodthirsty Zionist regime and the delusional President of the United States," it noted.
Israel unleashed a war against Iran last Friday, assassinating top-ranking military commanders, scientists, and dozens of civilians, including women and children.The Zionist regime was forced to unilaterally halt its assault against Iran in the early hours of Tuesday, after US President Donald Trump made an announcement on his social media platform, claiming that a ceasefire had been reached.The Israeli regime’s unprovoked aggression against Tehran and several other cities across the country, prompted a crushing and decisive response by the Iranian Armed Forces targeting strategic sites in Tel Aviv, Haifa and other parts of the occupied territories.Iran’s Armed Forces launched a massive and unprecedented retaliation, firing hundreds of ballistic missiles and drones - in 22 waves - that overpowered Israeli air defenses and hit vital military, intelligence, industrial, energy, and research facilities throughout the occupied Palestinian territories.The Iranian Health Ministry announced on Wednesday that a total of 627 people were martyred and 4,870 injured in the Israeli regime’s attacks.
Instead of condemning the terrorist act, the United States struck three Iranian nuclear facilities.Tehran fired a salvo of missiles at the American air base in Qatar that serves as the forward headquarters for US Central Command (CENTCOM) in retaliation for raids on Iran’s peaceful nuclear installations. The Islamic Republic announced that the strategic base had sustained damage despite multiple heavy layers of protection.The Iranian Armed Forces have also warned the US that any renewed onslaught against Iran would prompt Tehran to teach Washington a "historic lesson".
