Revolutionary Guards Commander Warns US About ‘Repeated Aggression’

09:54 24.5.2026

After reports that a peace deal between Iran and the US had been “largely negotiated, the commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) warned the United States about “repeated aggression.”

The message, which did not mention the commander, Ahmad Vahidi, by name, was reported by the Tasnim news agency, which is close to the IRGC.

“The country’s powerful armed forces are at the highest level of readiness and active deterrence in all dimensions of missile, air, sea, land, space, and cyber,” the commander was reported as saying. “It is obvious that any renewed attack by the enemy will result in a devastating and hellish response in regional and extra-regional dimensions.”

The IRGC commander’s message came on the anniversary of the liberation of Khorramshahr, when Iranian forces recaptured the city from Iraqi occupation on May 24, 1982 — an event widely regarded as a major turning point in the Iran-Iraq War.

Tasnim also reported that Iran and the US were approaching a “preliminary understanding” and said that the proposed deal “provides a 30-day period for implementing measures related to the naval blockade and the Strait of Hormuz, and, at the same time, a 60-day period will be defined for negotiations on the nuclear issue.”

The details of the proposed deal have not been confirmed by the White House.
