A senior spokesperson for Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) declared on Thursday that ‘Israel’ and its allies lack the capability to initiate a new war against the Islamic Republic, accusing them of instead waging a campaign of psychological warfare.
Brigadier General Ali Mohammad Naeini stated that the enemy’s goal is to keep Iran in a state of perpetual tension. “The enemy cannot start a new war, but it wants to keep the country in a warlike atmosphere filled with worry and tension,” he said. “For this purpose, it pursues psychological operations. We are not the initiators of war, nor do we fear it.”
The remarks came after the 12-day war that erupted on June 13, when Israel launched an unprovoked act of aggression, assassinating senior commanders, nuclear scientists, and killing hundreds of civilians. The United States also joined the war by bombing three Iranian nuclear sites in a clear violation of international law.
On June 24, Iran, through its successful retaliatory operations against both the Israeli regime and the US, managed to impose a halt to the terrorist aggression.
Naeini said Israel’s security doctrine had collapsed during the war, saying the regime miscalculated Iran’s strength and wrongly believed Iranians would capitulate after an initial strike. Instead, he said, “the people gave a crushing response to the delusional enemy.”
