The spokesman for the Revolutionary Guards, Brigadier General Hossein Mohabi, reiterated that Iran will respond with force to any aggression, saying: "We will respond many times to every mistake made by the enemy, no matter how small. He described the enemy's "rhetoric and threats as largely media-driven," arguing that current circumstances prevent him from taking effective action or achieving his goals. Mohabi added, "Just as the enemy was defeated in the past by the resistance of the Iranian people, he will be defeated again if he repeats his mistakes. ".
