Iran will respond with a "crushing retaliation" to any future attack on its
territory, the spokesperson for the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC),
Brigadier General Ali Mohammad Naeini, said in a warning issued during an
interview with *Al Mayadeen*.

“There will be no red lines for us if another act of aggression is
committed,” Naeini declared, emphasizing that the Islamic Republic’s swift
military response

to the recent war has “thwarted enemy calculations.”
Enemies failed to achieve objectives

Brigadier General Naeini asserted that the Israeli occupation's central
goal was the destruction of the Islamic Republic’s power, but he claimed
that the offensive failed to achieve any strategic results. “Wars are
judged by the achievement of objectives, and the enemy failed to meet a
single one,” he said.

He revealed that the primary objective of the war
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/iran-strategically-foiled-israeli-us-scheme--advisor-shamkha>
was to weaken, fragment, and subjugate Iran. However, he stressed that
“none of these goals were realized,” adding that the Iranian system emerged
intact and determined.

According to Naeini, the enemy resorted to military confrontation only
after exhausting its diplomatic options. “Their shift to military action
shows they lack a true understanding of Iran’s system,” he said.
Over 2,000 missiles and drones launched at "Israel"

The IRGC spokesperson stated that Iran launched more than 2,000 missiles
and drones toward the occupied Palestinian territories during the war, and
that “a large number of these hit their targets with precision.”

Naeini also rejected suggestions that the killing of Iranian commanders had
succeeded in destabilizing Iran’s leadership

“Targeting our commanders did not disrupt our chain of command; to the
contrary, our response was swift and organized,” he said.

He concluded by asking, “Who is living in fear now? Iran or its enemies?”
answering definitively: “It is our enemies who fear the scale of Iran’s
devastating response if another attack occurs.”
'Israel' failed in achieving objectives

Ali Larijani, senior advisor to the Leader of the Islamic Revolution in
Iran, stated that the Israeli regime and the United States conspired to
overthrow the Iranian government
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/-israel--failed-to-topple-iran--lost-12-day-war--larijani-sa>
 within less than a week. He said that "Israel" and the US were convinced
they could dismantle the Islamic Republic
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/sayyed-al-houthi--overthrowing-islamic-republic-of-iran-impo>
 in just five or six days, and Netanyahu's primary objective was to force
the Iranian people into submission.

Larijani further explained that the conspiracy involved more than just
attacks aimed at Iran's leadership, revealing that after plotting to
eliminate the heads of the three branches of government, Israel had plans
to escalate their efforts by assassinating the Leader of the Islamic
Revolution

Sayyed Ali Khamenei.

The senior advisor further stressed that this scheme demonstrated a
fundamental misjudgment of Iran's resilience, noting that "The Zionist
enemy and the United States failed to grasp the culture and historical
depth of the Iranian people."

Larijani pointed to a critical shift in the confrontation that occurred on
Saturday, June 21, when third-party mediators stepped in, explaining that
"They realized Israel had reached a dead end." He noted that within two
days, by Monday, June 23, Tel Aviv was desperately seeking a way to impose
a ceasefire.
