IRGC Vows ‘Surprises Beyond Enemy’s Calculation’ on 48th Anniversary

The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC)

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has declared that its forces stand ready to deliver military surprises far beyond what adversaries can comprehend, marking the 48th anniversary of the force’s establishment.

In a statement issued Wednesday, the IRGC said its multiple branches and the Basij volunteer force are prepared to create “achievements and surprises beyond the understanding and calculation” of hostile powers, using new capabilities on the battlefield.

The statement highlighted recent large-scale missile and drone operations, which it said inflicted “crippling and devastating blows” on Israeli and US military infrastructure in the region. According to the IRGC, those strikes led to a “cognitive void” and subsequent miscalculations by the enemy. The statement specifically referenced “Operation True Promise 4,” described as involving 100 coordinated waves of combined missile and drone strikes.

The Guards maintained they remain at peak readiness for an immediate and decisive response to any renewed aggression, warning that a potential next round of military confrontation would bring “shattering strikes beyond enemy imagination” against remaining hostile assets in the region.

The statement also praised widespread public support for the armed forces as a strategic asset, and framed recent military actions as having dismantled the perceived military dominance of the United States and the Israeli regime, paving the way for a new regional order in West Asia free from foreign intervention.
