The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) released a formal statement asserting that the United States and Israel must withdraw their military and political presence from the Middle East. The IRGC described the current presence of these nations as a "vile and criminal" influence, framing their departure as a necessary step for the region's autonomy and freedom.

This rhetoric aligns with long-standing Iranian foreign policy, which frequently labels Western and Israeli involvement in the region as destabilizing. The IRGC statement did not specify immediate tactical actions or military maneuvers, but rather served as a declarative stance on regional sovereignty. While the IRGC presents this as a requirement for regional stability, international observers and Western governments typically view such statements as escalatory rhetoric intended to bolster domestic support and signal defiance against international sanctions and security alliances. There is no indication of a change in the current military posture of the US or Israel in response to this specific statement, though tensions remain high across the region due to ongoing conflicts involving regional proxies.
