Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Threaten Response Amid Lebanon Strikes

Right
Translated & summarized from Now 14 by baba
The story · English

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards issued a warning in the shadow of the ongoing strikes in Lebanon, portraying the latest understanding as an Iranian victory forced on the “aggressor enemy” after it “knelt down” before their strength. They said they would respond with unprecedented force if the other side violates its commitments or makes “excessive demands.”

In an official statement, the Guards said they are fully ready across all combat domains, land, sea and air. They added that the experience gained in recent campaigns has increased their capability to deliver a major defeat to the enemy at the slightest order from the leader.
