In a statement issued following the Bisharat al-Fath operation, Major General Mohammad Pakpour, Commander-in-Chief of the IRGC, addressed the US President, stating: "We warn that any repetition of aggression against the sacred system of the Islamic Republic and the noble, martyr-nurturing land of Iran will be met with even more decisive and regrettable responses that will serve as a lesson for history."
The full text of the IRGC Commander-in-Chief’s statement is as follows:
In the Name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful
Honoring the memory of the martyred commanders, their comrades, and all other martyrs of the recent attacks by the Zionist regime, I inform the brave and heroic people of Islamic Iran that following the malignancy and aggression of the criminal United States against the sacred land of Islamic Iran—which, in overt support of the accursed, child-killing Zionist regime, targeted the country’s nuclear facilities—your valiant warriors in the IRGC, relying on divine assistance, targeted the strategic Al-Udeid Air Base, the beating heart of US command in West Asia, inflicting damage on this highly protected, multi-layered strategic target.
While congratulating the noble people of Iran and the esteemed families of the martyrs on this success and victory, we warn the unwise and foolish US President, who has sacrificed the interests and security of the American people for the survival of the ill-fated Zionist regime, that any repetition of aggression against the sacred system of the Islamic Republic and the noble, martyr-nurturing land of Iran will be met with even more decisive and regrettable responses that will serve as a lesson for history.
