Iran’s Revolutionary Guards warned the US and Israel of a potentially “deadly” response to hostile actions, while Pakistan, Türkiye and Saudi Arabia are preparing an emergency meeting over Houthi attacks.
ERBIL (Kurdistan24) – Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has warned the United States and Israel that what it described as an “era of cost-free threats” has ended, saying its forces are on full alert and prepared to respond to any hostile move.
In a statement marking the second anniversary of Iran’s “True Promise 2” operation, the IRGC said its forces were ready to deliver what it described as a “deadly” response to any hostile action.
According to the statement issued on Friday, the operation on Oct. 1 was a historic response by the IRGC’s Aerospace Force to the killing of resistance-front leaders Ismail Haniyeh, Hassan Nasrallah and Abbas Nilforoushan.
The IRGC said the operation targeted deep inside Israeli territory through waves of advanced missiles and precision drones, describing it as a clear demonstration to the world of Iran’s retaliatory capabilities.
The Revolutionary Guards said the strategic attack had delivered a clear message to Iran’s adversaries, particularly officials in the White House and Israel, that any aggression would be followed by what it described as a painful and deterrent response.
The statement also assured the Iranian people and Iran’s allies in the region’s resistance front that its forces remained fully prepared.
The IRGC said that, relying on the guidance of Iran’s Supreme Leader and detailed intelligence on US and Israeli bases and movements, its forces were “one step ahead” and ready to respond to any threat or miscalculation.
It said any future response would be decisive, immediate and “far more deadly” than the previous operation.
Meanwhile, Pakistan, Türkiye and Saudi Arabia are preparing an emergency meeting to discuss Houthi attacks against Saudi Arabia, according to Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar.
Dar told media outlets on Friday, that an important emergency meeting of the Strategic Political Defense Committee under the framework of the Mecca Agreement would be held next week.
Saudi Arabia will host the meeting, with Houthi attacks against the kingdom expected to be at the center of discussions, the Pakistani foreign minister said.
On Aug. 7, 2026, Saudi Arabia, Türkiye and Pakistan signed a joint defense agreement in Jeddah.
The new alliance brings together Türkiye, described in the supplied report as NATO’s second-largest army, Pakistan, a nuclear-armed state, and Saudi Arabia, the world’s largest oil exporter.
Türkiye has also said Egypt could potentially join the defense alliance in the future as part of efforts to protect regional security, without seeking to dismantle the countries’ traditional alliances with Washington.
Türkiye’s Foreign Ministry said the agreement includes a collective-defense provision similar to Article 5 of the NATO treaty. Under the arrangement, an armed attack against any one of the three countries would be considered an attack against all members of the agreement, with the stated aim of strengthening their collective ability to respond to military aggression.
Last July, following Riyadh’s accusation that it had bombed Sanaa airport, the Houthis imposed a maritime blockade on Saudi Arabia and resumed attacks against oil tankers, according to the supplied report.
At the same time, a large part of the Red Sea coastline extending toward the Bab al-Mandab Strait has been controlled by the Houthis, increasing what the report describes as Iran and its allies’ influence over the sensitive maritime route.
