Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) issued a series of warnings, saying it is at maximum readiness to confront any land or air threats, while also delivering political messages tied to ongoing tensions with the United States and 'Israel'.
The IRGC cautioned against what it described as a “trap” involving 'Israeli' Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, urging Washington to “accept reality” and avoid being influenced by him. It also warned that any US or 'Israeli' attack would be met with a response that is “beyond expectations,” stressing it would be decisive and unambiguous.
The group reiterated its stance on the Strait of Hormuz, calling control over the strategic waterway a “non-negotiable strategy” despite military pressure.
Separately, Iran’s judiciary chief said ceasefire proposals reflect battlefield setbacks, arguing that if opposing forces had achieved their objectives, they would not be seeking a halt in fighting.
He also warned that further moves by adversaries remain possible, suggesting continued expectations of escalation.
