IRGC Aerospace chief declares 'peak readiness' amid US-Israeli war rhetoric
The Aerospace Force of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has achieved the highest level of its defensive preparedness, standing ready to crush any aggression against Iran, says the force’s commander, Brigadier General Majid Mousavi.
General Mousavi said in a statement on Wednesday that the production of aerospace hardware across various sectors has significantly increased since the 12-day US-Israeli war of June 2025.
The commander said vulnerabilities identified during the war have been fully addressed and rectified.
“The IRGC Aerospace Force is currently at the pinnacle of its readiness,” he said.
General Mousavi said the domestic defense industry has accelerated its output to ensure the nation’s security.
The remarks came amid threats by US President Donald Trump, who on Tuesday called on rioters in Iran to storm state institutions and claimed US help for them was “on its way.”
Iran has threatened to hit US-Israeli interests in West Asia in case of another aggression by the two regimes.
During the 12-day war, Iran fired salvos of ballistic missiles at the Israeli military sites and also America’s al-Udeid air base in Qatar in retaliation for their attacks.
Iran was the scene of foreign-backed terrorist attacks and riots on January 8 and 9.
Top general: Tactics of ‘absolute violence’
The Chief of Staff of Iran’s Armed Forces, Major General Seyyed Abdolrahim Mousavi, said the events of the recent days were a direct continuation of the 12-day war.
After failing in “hard warfare,” the commander said, Iran’s adversaries shifted their strategy to a meticulously designed plan involving trained terrorist elements on the ground.
“The enemy implemented a precise design, deploying trained terrorist forces to carry out the most violent actions across various parts of Iran.”
He said the scale of destruction witnessed in recent days was unprecedented in the country’s history.
The general further exposed the sinister tactics used by these foreign-backed groups, specifically highlighting a project to manufacture casualties in an attempt to delegitimize the government.
According to the general, these trained operatives were given strict orders to employ “absolute violence” and were even observed firing directly at ordinary citizens.
