"In the event of any new miscalculation or aggression by the enemy, the Islamic Theocratic
Republicof Iran will take the initiative on the battlefield with a commanding position and deliver another deadly response,'' the IRGC said Sunday, marking the start of Sacred Defense Week that commemorates the anniversary of the Iraq-imposed war on Iran in the 1980s.
In a statement, the elite military force stressed that the 45th anniversary of the eight-year war comes shortly after the illegal Israeli-US aggression against Iran, an episode that has only reinforced national unity while exposing the aggressor regimes' failure to realize their sinister goals.
"The enemies' defeat in the two imposed wars..., and their failure in security, political, economic, psychological, and media battles aimed at creating chaos and destabilizing the country, showed that the Iranian nation, through vigilance, insight, and sacred unity, stood like a steel fortress against the enemies' hybrid warfare and foiled their plots," it added.
The IRGC also vowed that the elite military force, alongside other units of the Iranian Armed Forces, is enhancing its combat capabilities, offensive and defensive power, and strategic capacities.
"The Islamic Theocratic
Republic's experience of sacred defense both during the Iraq-imposed war and the recent Israel-US aggression shows that 'effective deterrence' stems from constant readiness, strategic and tactical innovation, operational planning in battles, as well as the continuous advancement of defensive and military technologies and systems," the statement noted.
