Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Says It Is Ready for Any New Aggression

The IRGC's messaging is doing double duty: deterrence and domestic reassurance. By publicly rejecting US claims of leadership fractures while simultaneously warning of a heavier price, Tehran is signaling that its internal cohesion is intact and that any escalation calculus should account for that. The notable tension is Mohebbi calling a new war illogical yet highly likely — a framing that keeps escalation risk priced in without committing to a trigger. What matters next is whether this rhetorical posture is matched by observable force movements or remains a signaling exercise.
