In the Name of Allah, 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 Iranian people, and to the honored families of the martyrs:

Your sons and servants in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, following the aggression launched by the Zionist army on our skies and its initiation of an imposed war on Islamic Iran—and in response to the call of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, and with the support of the Iranian people—designed and executed a series of operations under the title "Truthful Promise 3", conducted in 22 intense, continuous, and multi-layered waves. These operations targeted a diverse and expansive bank of military objectives belonging to the enemy in the occupied lands of Al-Quds, once again proving that the brave soldiers of this nation never leave any aggression unanswered. With their reliance on Allah, their high determination, and their powerful blows, they shattered and mocked the foolish illusion that Iran could ever surrender.

We honor the martyrs of this imposed war and salute their pure souls. In the epic of sacred defense that lasted 12 days, martyr commanders such as Lieutenant General Mohammad Bagheri, Lieutenant General Gholam Ali Rashid, Lieutenant General Hossein Salami, Lieutenant General Ali Shadmani, Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, along with other martyred commanders, martyred scholars, and our civilian martyrs—women and children—became shining suns and beacons of guidance on this battlefield. They proved that martyrdom in defense of the homeland and the Islamic Revolution is the path and ultimate end of every true servant of Allah.

We express our sincere appreciation and respect to the Iranian people—especially the esteemed families of the martyrs—to the Leader of the Islamic Revolution and Commander-in-Chief, His Eminence Grand Ayatollah Imam Khamenei (may his shadow endure), to the Grand Religious Authorities, scholars, the heads of the three branches of power—especially the president and members of the esteemed government—academic elites, the diplomatic corps, national media, virtual space activists, political parties, and medical and relief teams. All these groups stood alongside the Armed Forces and etched their presence in the pages of bright history.

The Iranian people, continuing the values of the eight-year Sacred Defense, offered in this victorious historical confrontation a radiant image of national dignity, the spirit of resistance, and internal cohesion to the world. The result of this unity and effort was a living embodiment of a powerful Iran and a decisive rejection of the calculations of global arrogance against the Iranian people and the sacred Islamic Republic.

The calm, wisdom, and steadfastness shown by the Leader of the Islamic Revolution from the very first day of this imposed war in mobilizing a nationwide stance against the aggressors represented a growing asset that emphasized the unique role of Imamate in unifying the Islamic system and reminded us all of its value. With such a great nation and under the leadership of such a noble guide, the sons of the Armed Forces gain the courage to embark on a civilization-making historic battle.

The IRGC finds itself unable to fully describe and do justice to the sincere, unique, and historic sacrifices of the Armed Forces—especially the valiant fighters of the Aerospace Force, the missile units, the brave Basij, the anonymous heroes in intelligence, and the defenders in the air defense units. For these sacrifices and these fighters, martyrdom remains the only true recompense.

Among the most prominent achievements in this phase of punishing the aggressors, and clear indicators of the misery of the Zionist terrorist killers and their bloodthirsty backers, are the following:

• Reinforcement of national unity
• Increase in social capital
• Deepening trust in the Armed Forces
• Strengthening the spirit of self-reliance
• Exposure and dismantling of internal sabotage networks
• Elevation of Iran’s status in the hearts of the Islamic Ummah
• Gaining international support for the justice of the Islamic Republic's cause and condemnation of the Zionist army's aggression
• Collapse of the illusion of regime change in Iran
• Preservation of the pillars of power in the nuclear program
• Protection of defensive and missile infrastructure
• Destruction of the enemy’s multi-layered and costly air defense myth
• Deepening the crisis of the entity’s survival in occupied lands
• Discrediting the myth of the “invincible Zionist army”
• Reviving hope in oppressed peoples to continue resisting global arrogance

The entry of the already-defeated, criminal American army into the battlefield to rescue the pitiful soldiers of the Zionist army failed to shift the battlefield dynamics or undermine Iran’s upper hand. The retaliatory missile strike on the American Al-Udeid base in Qatar, as part of Operation “Glad Tidings of Victory”, delivered a fresh message of Iran’s strength—and the enemies understood that message clearly.

It is worth emphasizing that the initiator of the imposed war was the Zionist terrorist army. Yet its end was penned by the valiant sons of the people in the Armed Forces—particularly the IRGC Aerospace Force—in the 22nd wave of Operation "Truthful Promise 3", whose final strike was so devastating that the “cries for a ceasefire” erupted from the throats of the savage Zionist regime and the delusional president of America.

Once again, relying on Allah Almighty, we pledge to the heroic Iranian people and the noble families of the martyrs that we shall never tire nor falter in pursuing the two fixed and strategic goals of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps:

1. The expulsion of occupying America from the region 2. The destruction of the Zionist child-killing entity

True peace and stability in the region depend on the fulfillment of these two blessed objectives. We will not loosen our grip on the enemy’s neck—and we will continue to punish it without pause.
