IRGC aerospace force ready to combat threats: Commander

TEHRAN, Oct. 07 (MNA) – The commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Aerospace Force affirmed the full preparedness of his forces to decisively respond to any threat or act of aggression.

In a meeting with the head of the Judiciary Organization of the Iranian Armed Forces on Tuesday, Brigadier General Seyed Majid Mousavi highlighted the role of the IRGC Aerospace Force during the 12-day war imposed by the Zionist regime in June and the key post-war recovery measures.

He stated that all damages sustained have been repaired and operational capacities were fully restored.

“By the grace of God, with the restoration of damages, we are in complete readiness to respond swiftly and decisively to any enemy threat or adventurism,” the senior commander declared.

On June 13, the Zionist regime launched an unprovoked war of aggression against Iran, targeting military, nuclear, and residential areas for 12 consecutive days. The United States later escalated the conflict by striking three of Iran’s nuclear sites in Natanz, Fordow, and Isfahan on June 22.

Iran’s Armed Forces delivered an immediate and forceful response. The IRGC Aerospace Force carried out 22 waves of retaliatory missile strikes under Operation True Promise III, inflicting significant damage and heavy losses on cities across the occupied territories.

In retaliation for the US attacks, Iranian forces also targeted al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar —the largest American military installation in West Asia— with a barrage of missiles.

The confrontation came to an end on June 24, when a ceasefire was enforced.
