IRGC Strategic Objectives remain: Expelling America and eliminating Israel

Summary of the IRGC Statement – June 26, 2025

IRGC Declaration Summarizing the 12-Day War. In its official and detailed communiqué, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) decared that, in response to the "Zionist army’s aggression against Iran," it launched 22 waves of precise, multilayered missile strikes under “Operation True Promise 3”, targeting a "wide array of military objectives in the occupied territories of alQuds (Jerusalem).

The statement emphasizes that this operation was intended to “shatter the delusion of Iran’s surrender” and deliver a “harsh slap of fire” to the aggressors.

Most significantly, the IRGC reaffirms two permanent strategic objectives:

1. The expulsion of the U.S. from the region

2. The destruction of the Zionist regime

   
   

The IRGC explicitly declares it will “not let go of the enemy’s throat” and will spare no action in the ongoing punishment, asserting that true and lasting peace in the region depends on achieving these two goals.

The statement also highlights the collapse of Israel’s multi-layered and costly air defense systems, the growing existential crisis within the Israeli regime, and the failure of U.S. military intervention to alter the battlefield dynamics or Iran’s upper hand.

Final Statement of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Regarding the Imposed War of the Zionist Regime

"In the Name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. There is no power and no strength except through Allah, the Most High, the Most Great.

To the brave and heroic people of Iran and the noble families of the martyrs:

Your sons and servants in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), in response to the call of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief and with the support of the Iranian people, following the Zionist army's aggression into the skies of our country and the initiation of an imposed war against Islamic Iran, launched with power and wisdom a series of operations under “True Promise 3” in 22 severe, continuous, and multilayered waves, targeting a diverse and extensive bank of enemy military objectives in the occupied territories of Quds.

Once again, they proved that the brave soldiers of the homeland do not leave any aggression unanswered and, relying on God and with great resolve and a harsh slap, shattered and mocked the ignorant illusion of Iran’s surrender.

We honor the memory of the martyrs of this unjust war and extend our condolences to their noble souls.

In the sacred 12-day defense campaign of the Iranian nation, the martyr commanders—Lieutenant General Mohammad Bagheri, Lieutenant General Gholam Ali Rashid, Lieutenant General Haj Hossein Salami, Martyr Lieutenant General Ali Shadmani, Major General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, and other martyred commanders, martyred Iranian scientists. Our martyred citizens, including women and children, became like shining suns and guiding lights in this field, showing that sacrifice in defense of the homeland and the Islamic Revolution is the path and ultimate goal of all God’s men.

We must express our utmost devotion and respect to the unique people of Iran, especially the noble families of the martyrs, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution and Commander-in-Chief, Grand Ayatollah Imam Khamenei, the great religious authorities and scholars, the heads of the three branches of government, especially the honorable President and members of the esteemed government, the academic elite, the diplomatic corps, national media, social media activists, political groups, and the medical and relief teams.All of these national treasures and capacities shone alongside the armed forces and have been etched into history.

The Iranian nation, continuing the values of the eight-year Sacred Defense (Iran-Iraq War) , validated its national honor, spirit of resistance, and internal cohesion in a victorious historic struggle.

The outcome of all this unity and struggle is the manifestation of a “Powerful Iran” and an annulment of the global arrogant powers’ calculations against the Iranian nation and the sacred system of the Islamic Republic.

The calm, wisdom, and steadfastness of the Supreme Leader from the very first day of the imposed war created a flourishing national mobilization against the aggressors. It reminded us all of the exceptional role of Imamate in the unity of the Islamic system. It is from within such a great nation and such a magnificent leader that the valiant sons of the armed forces find the courage to fight in a historic and civilization-making battle.

The IRGC admits its inability to fully describe the sincere, unparalleled, and historic struggles of the armed forces, especially the self-sacrificing IRGC Aerospace Force, the missile units, the ever-present Basij fighters, the anonymous intelligence soldiers, and the country’s air defense warriors—and only martyrdom can be the true reward for such striving and strivers.

Among the most important achievements and signs of the Iranian nation’s will and the armed forces' retaliation against the aggressors are the following:

Fortifying National Cohesion and Legitimacy While Thwarting Subversion and Regime Change Efforts

• Strengthening national unity and increasing social capital

• Enhancing public trust in the armed forces

• Boosting self-confidence among the military

• Detecting and neutralizing domestic sabotage networks

• Elevating Iran’s standing and acceptance in the hearts of the Islamic Ummah

• Gaining international support for the Islamic Republic’s cause and exposing the Zionist army’s aggression

• Collapsing the ignorant and wicked idea of regime change in Iran

Preserving the foundations and elements of power in the nuclear program

    •   Safeguarding the country’s defensive and missile infrastructure

• Preserving the foundations and elements of power in the nuclear program

• Safeguarding the country’s defensive and missile infrastructure

Accelerating the Collapse of Zionist Power While Mobilizing Global Resistance

• Collapsing the enemy’s multi-layered and expensive air defense myth

• Intensifying the survival crisis of the Zionist regime in occupied lands

• Invalidating the myth of the Zionist army’s invincibility

• Inspiring hope in the oppressed nations of the world to continue resisting the arrogant powers

The entry of the already-defeated and criminal U.S. army into the battlefield to save the wretched soldiers of the Zionist army did not alter the battlefield dynamics or Iran’s upper hand, and the retaliatory Iranian missile strike on the American Al-Udeid base in Qatar under “Operation Glad Tidings of Victory” once again conveyed Iran’s power to them.

It must be noted that the initiator of the imposed war was the terrorist Zionist army. Still, the conclusion was written by the brave and valiant sons of the armed forces, especially the IRGC Aerospace Force, in the 22nd wave of the “True Promise 3” operations. Their final blow was so crushing that the “howl for a ceasefire” was heard from the throat of the criminal Zionist regime and the delusional President of America.

Once again, with reliance upon God, we pledge before the heroic Iranian nation and the noble families of the martyrs that we will not rest for a moment in pursuing our strategic and permanent goals:

The expulsion of the occupying America from the region, and the annihilation of the child-killing Zionist regime

For true stability and peace in the region depend on these two blessed goals, and we shall not let go of the enemy’s collar nor withhold any action necessary for continuous punishment.
