IRGC says it will respond to US attacks 'more strongly than before'
IRGC says it will respond to US attacks 'more strongly than before' Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has said it will retaliate against any further US attacks more strongly than before. IRGC spokesperson Hossein Mohebi told Iranian state media that the enemy is an enemy that breaks its commitments, is deceitful, and cannot be trusted. At any moment, at any stage of the negotiations, it may take certain actions. Mohebi added: Whatever action the enemy takes in this regard, we have responded to it, and we will respond to it. We repeat: If the enemy breaks its commitments and violates the ceasefire, we will respond more strongly than before, and we stress we will respond even more forcefully. We regard such moves by the enemy as natural because we know the enemy’s nature.
