Odaily Planet Daily reports that the Iranian Revolutionary Guard issued a statement today (June 19th) stating that Supreme Leader Mojtaba's remarks on the Iran-US memorandum of understanding "further consolidated the unity of the Iranian people, making the Iranian people and armed forces more determined to safeguard the fruits of victory, and providing valuable assets for Iranian politicians in their struggle for national rights." The statement indicated that the aggressors have suffered defeat on the battlefield—they once boasted of "wiping Iran off the map" and "returning Iran to the Stone Age," but now they have "retreated in despair to the point of begging for understanding and negotiations," "bowing their heads" before the Iranian people. The statement asserted that if the enemy, as in the past, attempts again to make unreasonable demands and infringe upon the rights of the Iranian nation, the Revolutionary Guard will be ready at any time, with even greater strength, in land, sea, air, and all hybrid warfare domains—delivering an even more devastating historical defeat to the enemy should the Supreme Leader give the order.
