Iranian General Warns US of Devastating Response to Aggression

Major General Ali Abdollahi, commander of the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Command, issued a message on Monday vowing a devastating response to any US aggression. In his statement, he pledged allegiance to the new Leader, Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei, and affirmed that the Iranian Armed Forces would follow his directives.

Abdollahi emphasized that the Armed Forces would dedicate all their capacity to strengthening unity between the military, the people, and officials across the three branches of government. This unity, he said, is essential to guarantee national interests, defend the people's rights, and preserve national security.

Addressing what he called the "oath-breaking American enemy," the general warned that "any bullying, expansionism and savagery will be met with a decisive and devastating response from the faithful, brave and mighty fighters of the Armed Forces, and we will impose costs on them heavier than those of the second and third imposed wars." He referred to the Iran-Iraq war (1980-1988) as the "imposed war," and the phrase "second and third imposed wars" likely alludes to other conflicts or sanctions.

Abdollahi stated that the enemy, having suffered successive defeats on the military battlefield, is now pinning its hopes on creating rifts between the people and officials. He called for internal cohesion, saying, "The defeat of the Great Satan, criminal America, depends on internal cohesion, and seriously confronting this satanic plot to disappoint the enemy is a necessary and urgent duty for all."

The general concluded that the country's defensive power serves as a strong backing for the security of the Iranian nation and as a platform for officials to work for the people's welfare and prosperity.

According to Mehr News, the message underscores Iran's readiness to counter any US aggression while emphasizing national unity under the new leadership.
