[Financial News] Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) warned that if military operations resume, the scope of the war will expand beyond the Middle East.
In a statement released on the 20th (local time) through state media including Fars News Agency, the Revolutionary Guard criticized the United States and the Zionist enemy, Israel, saying they have learned nothing from repeated major strategic defeats against the Islamic Revolution.
The Revolutionary Guard claimed, "They mobilized every capability of the armed forces of the world's two most expensive militaries, yet we have not even deployed all of the Islamic Revolution's potential against them."
It added, "If aggression against Iran is repeated, the regional war that was originally warned of will spread beyond the Middle East and farther. Our devastating strikes from completely unexpected places will lead the enemy to total destruction," it warned.
The Revolutionary Guard added, "We are masters of war. You will see our formidable power clearly on the actual battlefield, not in empty statements or on social media screens."
