IRGC said the strike constitutes “a flagrant and unprecedented crime,” violating the UN Charter, international law, the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), and the fundamental principles of state sovereignty.
The statement accused the U.S. of full strategic and operational involvement in the attacks, asserting that American forces were instrumental in planning and executing the aggression.
“This action once again demonstrates the aggressors’ strategic failure and inability to shift realities on the ground,” it declared.
IRGC warned that the wide distribution of U.S. military bases in the region is not a strength but a “multiplier of vulnerability.” It added that Iranian forces have already identified and are tracking the airbases used in the assault.
Reaffirming Iran’s right to defend itself, the statement declared that the attacks have not weakened the country’s indigenous and peaceful nuclear capabilities. On the contrary, it asserted, the assault will further strengthen the resolve of Iran’s young scientific community.
IRGC emphasized that “Operation True Promise III”—which has so far launched 20 waves of missile strikes against Israeli infrastructure and strategic sites—will continue with “precision, intensity, and purpose.” It further warned that the latest act of aggression would compel Iran to consider “responses beyond the calculations of the delusional aggressors.”
The statement concluded with a vow of steadfast resistance, asserting that Iran, under the leadership of the Supreme Commander, and supported by the Iranian people and regional allies, is prepared to confront all threats in defense of its sovereignty and dignity.
