Israel has sustained a clear and undeniable defeat in the recent 12-day war conflict, said the spokesperson of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Brigadier General Ali Mohammad Naeini.
Speaking in a television show, he warned that Iran’s response to any new Israeli aggression will be more serious and decisive.
Naeini said “young cadres who joined the Popular Mobilization and the Basij between 1980 and 2000, currently form the backbone of Iran's offensive and defensive capabilities in advanced fields, such as missiles, cyberspace, defense industries, and artificial intelligence.”
He noted that the Basij represents a fundamental component of Iran’s national power.
“The Basij’s founding philosophy was never intended to replace the armed forces but to build comprehensive strength across political, social, cultural, security, and defense sectors,” the spokesperson said.
Naeini described the recent war with Israel as “an intense combined battle initiated by the enemy based on miscalculations and its failure to grasp the power and cohesion of the Iranian nation.”
The IRGC spokesperson said that in the 12-day June war, the “Zionist entity has sustained a clear and undeniable defeat, which is acknowledged even by the Israeli political and military figures, as well as US research institutes.”
Also, he noted that “operation al-Aqsa Storm ruined the entity’s security reputation. Iran’s armed forces are currently at their highest level of tactical readiness, technological capability, and operational creativity,” Naeini affirmed that the war also served as a genuine test of strength in which the enemy’s vulnerabilities were fully exposed.
Today, he said, Israel has neither new objectives nor the capacity to repeat past mistakes. “If the enemy commits any new act of aggression or mischief,” he noted, “its response will be more serious and more decisive without any doubt.”
