The commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’s (IRGC) Aerospace Force, Seyed Majid Moosavi, says it is prepared to respond following what he described as ceasefire violations against Iran by the US during ongoing peace talks, Al Jazeera reports.

In a post on X, Moosavi has criticised ongoing diplomacy, saying “negotiation with the enemy is pure loss”.

He says the air force — which oversees Iran’s strategic ballistic missile and drone programmes — remains “highly vigilant, fully prepared for a decisive, swift response,” and is awaiting final orders from the commander-in-chief.
