Odaily, citing CCTV International News, reported that Iran’s Revolutionary Guards issued a statement today, June 19, in response to remarks by Iran’s supreme leader Mojtaba regarding a memorandum of understanding between Iran and the United States. According to the statement, those remarks “further consolidated the united front of the Iranian people” and made both the Iranian people and the armed forces more determined to defend the achievements of victory.
Statement Focuses on Unity and National Rights
The Revolutionary Guards said the remarks also provided a “valuable asset” for Iranian politicians as they pursue national rights. The statement placed the Iranian people, the armed forces and political figures within the same narrative, stressing a unified position on matters involving Iran’s national interests and rights.
The statement further said that aggressors had already suffered defeat on the battlefield. It referred to earlier threats by opponents who, according to the Guards, had claimed they would “wipe Iran off the map” and “push Iran back to the Stone Age.” The statement said those same opponents had now “retreated in despair to the point of begging for understanding and negotiations” and had “lowered their heads” before the Iranian people.
Guards Say They Remain Ready Across All Domains
The Revolutionary Guards added that if enemies, as in the past, again attempt to make excessive demands or violate the rights and interests of the Iranian nation, the Guards will remain ready with greater force across land, sea and air, as well as in all hybrid warfare domains. The statement linked that readiness to an order from the supreme leader, saying that once such an order is given, the enemy will be made to suffer an even more severe historic defeat.
The core message of the statement centered on the Revolutionary Guards’ response to external pressure, their emphasis on a united front among the Iranian people, and their warning against any demands described as infringing on Iran’s national rights. The report did not provide additional details on the Iran-U.S. memorandum of understanding beyond the content of the statement, nor did it include further information outside the Guards’ remarks.
