Iran’s Top General Warns Enemies of Crushing Response, Strategic Surprises
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi underlined Iran’s defensive readiness and warned the enemies of “strategic surprises” in response to any aggression.
In a message issued on the occasion of Sacred Defense Week, marking the anniversary of the start of the Iraqi imposed war on Iran in the 1980s, Major General Mousavi recalled the failure of the enemy in the 12-day war imposed by the Zionist regime against Iran in June this year.
He stressed that Iran’s homegrown military and defense capabilities, its regional capacities, and the decisive response of the Iranian Armed Forces thwarted hostile plots.
He emphasized that the Islamic Republic will never remain passive in the face of threats, turning every challenge into an opportunity to demonstrate national, regional, and international power.
The senior commander urged that advancing modern defense technologies, strengthening deterrent power, and preparing to counter hybrid warfare –particularly the enemy’s cognitive war– must remain central priorities.
Assuring the Iranian nation, Major General Mousavi said the Armed Forces, relying on strategic surprises, stand fully prepared to confront any threat from the arrogant and oppressive powers with a response that will be timely, decisive, regret-inducing, and beyond imagination.
