Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi issued a stern warning on Wednesday, stating that any minor act of aggression by the Zionist regime on Iran's soil will be met with a powerful and fierce response.

Speaking at the parade of the Islamic Republic of Iran Army on National Army Day, Raisi declared that Iran's retaliatory operation against the Israeli regime, known as Operation True Promise, was "limited" and "punitive". However, he warned that the next retaliatory operation will not be limited.

"The army stands by the nation and acts to defend the homeland, territorial integrity, and the values of the Islamic Revolution," Raisi said. He emphasized that what sets Iran's Army apart from other armies worldwide is its faith in God and reliance on divine power.

"Our army is a skilled and trained one," the president added. "The army is equipped with modern innovations and technologies. The equipment that had to be maintained by other countries before the Islamic Revolution is being updated today by the capable hands of our armed forces and army."

Raisi further noted that the well-equipped and up-to-date army, along with the powerful Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) and our armed forces, are the sources of the country's authority. He added that regional forces can "rely on our armed forces." (ILKHA)
