Brigadier General Seyyed Majid Mousavi, chief commander of the IRGC Aerospace Force, made these remarks on Thursday on the sidelines of a ceremony in Tehran honoring the martyrs of the force, a report by Press TV said.
Mousavi emphasized that potential aggressors should think twice before considering any hostile actions against the Iranian nation.
He pledged to uphold the legacy of the martyrs, which he called "the cornerstone of Iran’s defense capabilities."
In his address, Mousavi paid tribute to the Martyr Hassan Tehrani Moghaddam, commending his strategic vision in identifying and countering threats.
Tehrani Moqaddam is known as the "father of Iran’s missile program" and a visionary military strategist who was ahead of his time.
He played an instrumental role in developing Iran’s indigenous missile capabilities during the 1980s imposed war and groomed many aerospace commanders who continued his mission.
General Mousavi now heads the IRGC aerospace division after the martyrdom of General Amirali Hajizadeh, his predecessor, in the Israeli military aggression against Iran in June.
On June 13, Israel launched a blatant and unprovoked aggression against Iran, triggering a 12-day war that killed at least 1,064 people in the country, including military commanders, nuclear scientists, and civilians.
The United States also entered the war by bombing three Iranian nuclear sites in a grave violation of international law.
In response, the Iranian Armed Forces targeted strategic sites across the occupied territories as well as the al-Udeid air base in Qatar, the largest American military base in West Asia.
On June 24, Iran, through its successful retaliatory operations against both the Israeli regime and the US, managed to impose a halt to the terrorist assault.
