TEHRAN – The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has categorically denied any missile or drone strikes against countries along the Persian Gulf littoral during the ongoing ceasefire between Iran and the United States, dismissing the reports as a ploy by hostile actors.

In a statement issued by the IRGC Public Relations Office in the early hours of Friday, the Corps declared: “As of this hour during the ceasefire, the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran have absolutely not launched any projectiles toward any country. If these reports published by the media are indeed true, they are undoubtedly the work of the Zionist enemy or the United States.”

The statement further stressed that Iran operates with full transparency in military matters: “If the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran strike any target, they will announce it with full courage in an official statement. Any action not mentioned in the official statements of the Islamic Republic of Iran has nothing to do with us.”

The denial comes after several news agencies published unverified reports claiming drone and missile attacks on facilities in nations on the southern shores of the Persian Gulf.

Ceasefire violations by Israel

Iran’s assertions of adherence to the truce stand in stark contrast to the repeated breaches committed by the Israeli regime since the announcement of the ten-point ceasefire by Tehran. Immediately after the ceasefire was declared, Israeli forces launched heavy bombardment on parts of Lebanese territory – areas explicitly covered under the terms of Iran’s ten-point proposal – killing and wounding hundreds of civilians.

In parallel, the spokesman for the Iranian Armed Forces has publicly stated that Tehran harbors no trust in the enemy or the ceasefire itself, citing the regime’s consistent pattern of aggression.

Khatam al-Anbiya headquarters says the armed forces remain fully prepared, with control over the Strait of Hormuz firmly maintained. 
Warning to Trump and Netanyahu to remember their defeat in the 40-day war, the body said, "any attack on Hezbollah or Lebanon will face a crushing response."

 The statement urged Iranians to stay united against enemy plots.

The current hostilities trace back to February 28, when the US and the Israeli regime launched a large-scale, unprovoked military campaign against Iran following the assassination and martyrdom of the then-Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, along with several senior military commanders and civilians.

In a decisive retaliatory operation, Iranian Armed Forces struck American and Israeli positions across the region, inflicting heavy damage on enemy military assets and demonstrating Iran’s formidable defensive capabilities. Contrary to initial expectations of a swift victory by the attackers, Iran’s response proved significantly more potent, rallying national unity and resistance.

Subsequently, following an ultimatum issued by the US president, Pakistani mediation led to a two-week ceasefire agreement, with negotiations set to take place in Islamabad. Iran has put forward a ten-point plan as the basis for talks, demanding the withdrawal of US forces from the region, the lifting of sanctions, and the establishment of Iranian control over the Strait of Hormuz.

A historic victory for Iran

On April 8, the Supreme National Security Council of Iran emphasized that the war has resulted in a historic victory for the Islamic Republic, compelling the United States to accept negotiation terms – including a binding non-aggression guarantee and the cessation of all hostile actions against the nation.

As the ceasefire holds under mounting tensions, Tehran continues to warn that any further provocations by the Zionist regime or US forces will be met with an immediate and decisive response.
