Iran’s Revolutionary Guard threatened that “the most brutal offensive operation in the history of Iran’s armed forces will begin shortly against the occupied territories and American terror bases.”
In the statement, the Guard said Khamenei’s death at the hands of what it called terrorists was proof of his righteousness and said his path and legacy would continue with strength and honor.
The force said the Iranian people would seek revenge and warned that those responsible would face what it described as severe and decisive punishment. It added that it would continue along Khamenei’s path, defend his legacy and stand firmly against internal and external plots, and that attacks on what it called the Islamic homeland would be met with a deterrent response.
