On its anniversary, Pezeshkian: The Revolutionary Guard has thwarted enemy plots and embodied the nation’s will for four decades.
In a message imbued with profound sovereign and strategic implications, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian affirmed that the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has, for over four decades, constituted one of the fundamental pillars of the Islamic Republic’s strength, contributing to the failure of enemy plots and solidifying the equation of resilience in the face of various challenges.
The nation’s shield against threats.
In his message commemorating the anniversary of the IRGC’s founding, Pezeshkian explained that this institution, alongside the army and the Basij militia, has waged a long history of confronting all forms of internal and external threats. He emphasized that it has been and remains the nation’s impregnable shield against attempts to destabilize the country and undermine national sovereignty.
He pointed out that the IRGC played a pivotal role in confronting all imposed wars waged by external powers, foremost among them the American and Zionist enemies, successfully thwarting conspiracies and foiling the objectives those powers sought to achieve.
The Epic of Deterrence: From the Battlefield to Strategy
The Iranian president considered the responses provided by the Revolutionary Guard during the recent confrontations to be decisive and intelligent, resulting in victorious outcomes. This made those confrontations a pivotal moment, demonstrating Iran’s defensive capabilities and confirming the supremacy of national will over hegemonic ambitions.
He emphasized that this epic was not merely a military success, but rather an expression of the integration of elements of power. Field readiness converged with popular support, producing an advanced model for conflict management and achieving deterrence.
A Force Emanating from the Will of the People
Pezeshkian pointed out that the Revolutionary Guard derives its strength from its deep connection to society, as an institution emanating from the popular will. This has granted it an exceptional ability to be actively present in various arenas, whether in the fields of defense or in the areas of construction and service.
He explained that this institution’s roles were not limited to the military aspect, but rather it undertook broad responsibilities in supporting development efforts and harnessing its scientific and specialized capabilities to serve society, thereby strengthening the state’s resilience and internal structure.
Integration of Power: A Pillar of Continuity
The Iranian president emphasized that coordination and integration between the Revolutionary Guard and the various components of the defense system, along with popular support, constitute a solid foundation for the continuation of progress and confronting current and future challenges.
A Message for the Current Phase: Consolidating Achievements and Building Upon Them
In concluding his message, Pezeshkian’s praise of the Revolutionary Guard carried implications that transcended mere celebration, reflecting a focus on consolidating the field and strategic achievements and building upon them in a new phase characterized by enhanced deterrence, entrenched stability, and the continued development of the state’s comprehensive power.
