News - Middle East: A senior Iranian Army commander has warned of a crushing response to any adversarial transgression on the Islamic Republic’s red lines, underlining that the unity of the country’s armed forces has led to the formation of an impregnable fortress against enemies.

Rear Admiral Habibollah Sayyari, deputy chief of the Iranian Army for Coordination, made the statement in a message on Sunday to Major General Hossein Salami, the chief commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), on the 45th anniversary of the elite force’s establishment.
Praising the “holy” unity between the Iranian Army and the IRGC over the past 45 years, Sayyari said this togetherness has remarkably increased the armed forces’ combat readiness and transformed the two military units into a “solid foundation and an impregnable fortress” in defending the country.
The Iranian commander also underlined that the unity strengthened “the unbreakable will of the Islamic Ummah across the geography of resistance.”
Sayyari stressed that the Army and IRGC played an “unparalleled” role in the fight against terrorist groups, especially the destruction of Daesh, as well as the neutralization of conspiracies by global arrogance.
