Iran prepared for all scenarios, IRGC chief commander warns US amid threats of aggression

The chief commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has roundly dismissed US threats of military aggression against Iran, emphasizing that the Islamic Republic is fully prepared for any possible threat and is strong enough to repel all kinds of threats.

"We tell American officials that we are ready for any scenario. Our country will never surrender to the political will of others. Our fingers are on the trigger, and we are waiting in ambush. If they dare make a mistake, they will receive prompt responses that will make them rue the day," Major General Hossein Salami said at a gathering in the western Iranian city of Hamadan on Wednesday.

He praised the presence of the Iranian nation on the political scene and critical junctures, stating that Iranians act correctly during difficult times, and remain vigilant.

"When confronting enemies, we must understand the might of the enemy's army and the depth of the enemy's thoughts and intentions. The cognitive warfare is one of the scenes that the United States and its allies venture in order to penetrate through the depths of a society's minds," the IRGC chief commander noted, urging proper countermeasures to foil such attempts.

The top military official underlined that Iran's Armed Forces are at the peak of their operational and combat readiness, saying, "We are engaged in a full-scale war. We are witnessing economic warfare, sanctions, global political pressures, widespread misinformation warfare, harsh and brutal media and propaganda campaigns, cultural inroads, and various threats by enemies that are being imposed upon this nation from near and far."

Salami said Iran remains steadfast in spite of all threats from enemies, noting that the Islamic Republic is steadily moving forward and the Iranian nation will never give in to political wills of others.

"We have the upper hand in the field of defense, and have always gained [the necessary] power to confront the world's biggest powers."

The IRGC chief also downplayed Israeli authorities' anti-Iran rhetoric and threats.

"I once again warn them that if they dare make mistakes and commit a folly, we will open up the gates of hell to them without any reservations," Salami pointed out.
