Commander of Iran’s Khatam Al-Anbiya Central Headquarters Major General Ali Abdollahi underlined that the Islamic Republic’s security rests primarily on popular support rather than military power, declaring that adversaries have failed to break the will of the Islamic Republic amid ongoing tensions.

In remarks carried by Iranian media on Wednesday, the commander said a “clear message” had been delivered to the United States and ‘Israel’.

“We have delivered an unmistakable message to the terrorist leadership in the United States and the criminal Zionist enemy: Iran’s security is rooted above all in the overwhelming support of its people, even more than in its military capabilities.”

Maj. Gen. Abdollahi added that Iran’s enemies have acknowledged their inability to undermine the country in the face of a “united and revolutionary nation,” framing public cohesion as a decisive factor in confronting external pressure.

“Iran’s adversaries have come to recognize their inability to break the will of the Islamic Republic in the face of a united and revolutionary nation.”

The commander also urged Iranians to maintain their presence and engagement in the streets with the same level of determination and awareness, calling for continued mobilization until further direction is issued by the country’s Supreme Leader.

“We call on the Iranian people to sustain their blessed presence in the streets with the same spirit, determination, and awareness, until they are entrusted with a new mission by the Supreme Leader.”
