If Israel Believes It Can Succeed, It Will Certainly Attack

Brigadier General Ali Fadavi, Deputy Commander of the IRGC, in an interview regarding the military preparedness of the armed forces in the event of repeated Israeli aggression against Iran’s territory, said: “Undoubtedly, one of the matters that is constantly on the mind of the IRGC, because it is both the order of the Commander-in-Chief and the command of the Quran, is one hundred percent readiness. This is the verse that is inscribed on the chest of us Guardians, and it is based on this readiness. This process (of armed forces’ readiness) has never stopped and will never stop. The power and capability of the forces in this short period have been very good, and this trend continues.”

The Malicious Forces of the World Seek to Weaken National Cohesion

Brigadier General Fadavi addressed the necessity of preserving national cohesion in the current circumstances, stating: “The people play a fundamental role. The people who hold a key role in this cohesion, if they remain united, can gain the greatest benefit from this unity. The malicious forces of the world want this cohesion to decrease, and the people must be careful so that this unity is not diminished, which, praise be to God, has been maintained even in the toughest conditions.”

He added: “The hope of the malicious ones was that if they attack, the cohesion of the people would also decrease, but the opposite happened. The unity that emerged in the ‘Second Sacred Defense’ was unparalleled. Despite extensive planning by the malicious forces in the 2010s and in the year 1401 (2022-2023), the national cohesion was extraordinary.”

If Israel Believes It Can Succeed, It Will Certainly Act

Answering the question of whether Israel still constitutes a threat to Iran, the Deputy Commander of the IRGC said: “It is natural that the conflict between right and wrong has existed from the beginning, exists now, and will continue until the end, and it will never cease.”

He continued: “This matter (the possibility of renewed aggression by the Zionist regime) depends on whether these malicious ones believe they can succeed; in that case, they will certainly act. However, a significant blow was dealt to them, and everyone realized that on the opposite side, the entire malicious world was present, while on our side there was only us. Nevertheless, they raised their hands and requested an end to the conflict.”
