Iranian General Staff Warns Washington and Tel Aviv: Any New Aggression Will Be Met with a Stronger and Harsher Response

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Iran has warned the United States and the Zionist entity against launching any new military adventure against the Islamic Republic, stressing that this time the response will be broader and far more powerful.

In a statement, the General Staff explained that the restraint shown by Iranian forces during the Twelve-Day War, avoiding a wider escalation, will not be repeated. It emphasized that any aggressor daring to commit a mistake against Iran will face new surprises and painful retaliation.

Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi, Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, affirmed that Iran possesses full capability to respond and requires no permission from anyone to defend its sovereignty. He declared: “The Iranian people are not seekers of war, but we will not hesitate to deliver a crushing blow if our enemies commit any act of aggression. Our response this time will be harsher and more severe than ever before.”

This decisive warning comes amid escalating regional tensions and continuous U.S.-Israeli pressure on Tehran, both regarding the nuclear file and attempts to impose military and political isolation on Iran.

The Iranian General Staff reminded that the Twelve-Day War marked a turning point in the balance of deterrence, proving Iran’s resilience and its ability to stand against the most formidable forces of evil in the region—making any new military gamble a losing bet for both the American and Israeli adversaries.
