Iran’s Guards say Israel lost 12-day clash, warn tougher response
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said Israel suffered a decisive setback in a recent 12-day confrontation and warned that any further aggression would meet a stronger Iranian response, according to the force’s spokesman speaking on state television.
Brigadier General Ali-Mohammad Naeini, the IRGC’s spokesman and deputy for public affairs, described the fighting as a high-intensity hybrid conflict and said Iran’s adversaries misread the sources of Tehran’s power, including mass-mobilization structures such as the Basij that he credited with sustaining social and logistical support during the flare-up.
“The Zionist regime suffered a decisive defeat in the 12-day war,” Naeini said. “If the enemy undertakes any new act of mischief or aggression, it will receive a more serious response, and there is no doubt about that.”
Naeini said Iran’s missile, cyber and electronic-warfare units operated with high tactical readiness and that production lines remain active.
Naeini also said: “The armed forces of the Islamic Republic are currently at the highest levels of tactical readiness, armament and innovation.”
