News - Middle East: The chief commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has expressed Iran’s complete preparedness to confront any act of aggression amid mounting threats of military action against the country.

Major General Hossein Salami made the remarks on Thursday as reports said that the US has put its embassies and military bases across West Asia on high alert amid fears about a potential Israeli strike on Iran.

“The enemy sometimes threatens us with military action. We have always said and we say today that we stand fully ready for any scenarios, situations, and circumstances,” he said.

“We are war-tested and experienced. We have built strength and developed a strategy in our plans. We monitor the depth of the enemy's army and … have practiced our plans.”

He also said the enemy thinks that it can fight Iran in the same way it fights the oppressed Palestinians in Gaza, who are defenseless and under an Israeli siege.

The IRGC chief further warned the enemy not to make any miscalculations and think twice about the repercussions of its measures.

“We are ready, and this is the reality we have been living with for years because being prepared for a war on any scale is our job and duty,” he emphasized.

Meanwhile, Salami said the enemy wants to impose a political isolation on Iran and exert pressure on the nation through sanctions, but the country is so influential that no one can remove it from regional and global equations.

He also pointed to Iran’s intelligence operation against Israel that resulted in the acquisition and transfer of a vast trove of strategic and sensitive documents about the clandestine Israeli nuclear program from the occupied territories to the Islamic Republic.

He said that the operation proved the Zionist regime's security system "permeable and threadbare", while showing Iran has the upper hand when it comes to intelligence.

“This was also an example of our victory in the intelligence warfare,” he noted.
