IRGC says Iran is still at war, rejects ceasefire claims as it threatens to destroy all bases in regional
With military operations continuing and diplomatic initiatives facing serious challenges, the latest IRGC warning underscores the fragile nature of the situation. Rather than signalling an immediate return to peace, the statement suggests that Iran views the current period as an ongoing phase of confrontation in which further military action remains possible.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has reportedly rejected suggestions that the country is currently observing a ceasefire, declaring that Iran remains at war and warning it will not stop until all military bases across the region are destroyed.
In a statement circulating amid renewed tensions in the Middle East, the IRGC was quoted as saying: “We are not in a ceasefire. We are still at war. We will destroy every base in this region.”
The warning comes as the conflict involving Iran, the United States and its regional allies continues to escalate, raising fresh concerns that the confrontation could develop into a wider regional war.
The statement signals Tehran’s determination to maintain military pressure against what it regards as hostile foreign forces operating in the region. It also suggests that Iran does not consider recent diplomatic efforts or temporary pauses in fighting to have brought the conflict to an end.
The latest developments come amid a series of attacks and counter-attacks involving Iranian forces and US military installations across the Middle East. Recent reports indicate that fighting has continued despite previous efforts to establish a ceasefire or memorandum aimed at reducing hostilities. Both sides have accused each other of violating previous arrangements, with the situation increasingly described as unstable and unpredictable.
The IRGC’s reported warning could further heighten tensions, particularly because the United States maintains military facilities and personnel in several countries across the Gulf and wider Middle East. Any attempt to target those installations could trigger further American military action and potentially draw additional countries into the conflict.
The threat also comes against the backdrop of renewed US strikes on Iranian military infrastructure. Reports indicate that American forces recently carried out attacks on IRGC-linked facilities in Iran, while Iran responded with missile attacks targeting locations in the region. The cycle of retaliation has raised fears of a broader confrontation involving US bases, regional allies and Iran-aligned armed groups.
Iran’s position, as reflected in the reported IRGC statement, appears to be that the conflict remains active and that Tehran retains the ability and willingness to respond to attacks against its territory and military forces.
The declaration is likely to be closely monitored by Washington and governments across the Middle East, particularly those hosting US military installations. Any new attacks on American or allied bases could lead to further retaliatory strikes and complicate ongoing diplomatic efforts to prevent the conflict from expanding, although none of American or regional allies has shown capability to withstand the Iran since it emerged the super power in the Gulf region.
With military operations continuing and diplomatic initiatives facing serious challenges, the latest IRGC warning underscores the fragile nature of the situation. Rather than signalling an immediate return to peace, the statement suggests that Iran views the current period as an ongoing phase of confrontation in which further military action remains possible.
The development adds to growing uncertainty over the future of the conflict, with the possibility of additional strikes, counter-strikes and attacks on military facilities remaining a major concern for the region.
