❗️IRGC commander warns adversaries to prepare for strategic surprises
A high-ranking commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has cautioned Iran's adversaries to prepare for strategic surprises as Iran prepares to transition its military posture from a primarily defensive stance to a proactive offensive orientation.
Speaking to IRIB, IRGC Political Deputy Brigadier General Yadollah Javani emphasized that the country's armed forces will no longer be caught off-guard by hostile maneuvers. Instead, he stressed that regional foes must anticipate unexpected retaliatory developments moving forward.
Javani further underscored that the military establishment will implement all necessary measures at the opportune time to safeguard national sovereignty, reinforce regional security, and decisively neutralize any lingering external threats.
