US bears primary responsibility for aggression against Iran

“We hold America primarily responsible for aggression against Iran,” said Brigadier General Abolfazl Shekarchi, the spokesman for the Iranian Armed Forces, in an interview with Al-Mayadeen Network on Monday.

General Shekarchi declared, "The enemies and this barbaric regime should understand that they are confronting one and a half billion Muslims who will never surrender."

He reiterated that Iran does not initiate hostilities but will deliver decisive and devastating responses to its adversaries. "We have consistently emphasized that we will not initiate aggression; however, we have responded to our enemies with overwhelming force," he stated.

General Shekarchi stated that the ceasefire was established only after the Israeli enemy had suffered significant losses at the hands of Iranian forces.

He revealed that Iranian forces have successfully inflicted considerable damage on American military assets at Al-Udeid Air Base.

He further remarked, "If the enemies are truly as honest and democratic as they claim, let the world see the extent of the damage and destruction they have caused."

Brigadier General Shekarchi issued a stark warning: "Our armed forces possess the capability to deliver an even more devastating response, and we are prepared to demonstrate this both practically and in the field."

In a separate interview with Defapress Shekarchi emphasized the high level of preparedness within Iran’s armed forces, issuing a stark warning: “Should the Zionist regime initiate any further actions, they will face a powerful response.”

On Friday, the spokesman for the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Brigadier General Ali Mohammad Naeini said Iran will no longer observe any red line if the Israeli regime carries out another act of aggression against the Islamic Republic.

On June 13, Israel launched a blatant and unprovoked act of aggression against Iran, assassinating many high-ranking military commanders and nuclear scientists and martyring civilians.

The Israeli attacks also targeted military and nuclear sites as well as vital non-military infrastructure, including a building of the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB), healthcare centers, outreach facilities, and both residential neighborhoods and rural communities, inflicting widespread civilian harm.

These attacks caused over 900 civilian fatalities.

In response, the Iranian armed forces, led by the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), launched a powerful and unprecedented retaliatory campaign, Operation True Promise III, against the Israeli regime, using many of its domestically developed new-generation missiles for the first time.

Hundreds of Iranian ballistic missiles and drones overwhelmed Israeli air defenses and struck key military, intelligence, industrial, energy, and R&D facilities across the occupied Palestinian territories.

On June 24, the Zionist regime, isolated and abandoned, declared a unilateral halt to its aggression, announced on its behalf by US President Donald Trump.
