Commander of Iran’s Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, Major General Ali Abdollahi, stated that foreign powers have no place in the Gulf, warning that the Iranian armed forces are prepared to deliver a “hellish” response to any act of aggression.

Speaking during a ceremony commemorating the martyrs of the “Ramadan War,” Abdollahi issued a warning to Iran’s adversaries, declaring that “the plans and strategies established by the Leader of the Revolution for managing the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz guarantee the future of the region and the emerging regional and global order under the strategy of a ‘Strong Iran,’ a framework in which there is no place for foreigners.”

He added, “We swear by the raised fist of our martyred leader that our powerful armed forces will not allow the repetition of painful historical experiences and, by Allah's will, will impose the strength and dignity of the Islamic Republic of Iran upon its enemies.”

The commander further stressed, “We are fully prepared to deliver a harsh and hellish response to any aggression.”

Abdollahi continued by stating that “this solemn occasion, which affirms the continuation of resistance and steadfastness, alongside vigilance and awareness in confronting the American-Zionist enemy, will contribute through practical gratitude for these blessings to strengthening the security of the Persian Gulf region.”

He added that such efforts would help put an end to enemy exploitation of the strategic waterway, ultimately achieving stability and progress for all peoples of the region.
