Iran’s Revolutionary Guard aerospace commanders told lawmakers on Monday that Iran’s “war room” is active and forces are ready at any moment to enter conflict and respond to any hostile act, according to a parliamentary spokesman.
Ebrahim Rezaei, spokesman for parliament’s national security and foreign policy committee, said a senior commander briefed the panel on regional developments, military deployments and the security situation.
Rezaei said the commander told lawmakers Iran has high intelligence oversight of its adversaries and is monitoring all their movements, adding that operational plans are in place for any potential confrontation.
The briefing warned that if the United States “does something foolish” and carries out an attack, it would be drawn into a wider regional conflict, which the commander described as “the greatest advantage for us,” Rezaei said.
He added that US military and economic interests in the region are within Iran’s operational range.
Rezaei said commanders also cited Iran’s performance during a 12-day war, claiming Iran was able to penetrate Israel’s missile defense shield with a success rate of more than 50%.
The commanders told lawmakers Iran’s offensive and missile capabilities have improved since the 12-day conflict and that its abilities exceed what has been publicly demonstrated, Rezaei said.
He said the briefing concluded that any hostile act would be met with a “decisive, crushing, regret-inducing” response in line with orders from the Supreme Leader.
