Prior to the ceasefire between Iran and Israel, which was announced on June 24, 2025, senior
officials in the Iranian administration and the security-military leadership continued to
threaten harsh responses to Israel’s ongoing attacks on Iran and the American attack on three
nuclear facilities in Iran. The officials called the attacks a “crime” constituting a violation of
Iran’s sovereignty and international law and claimed that the American attacks were intended
to save Israel, which, they claimed, had failed to achieve its war objectives.
Following the announcement of a ceasefire between Iran and Israel, senior Iranian officials
presented the end of the fighting as a “victory” for Iran and warned Israel against violating the
ceasefire.
The IRGC assistant commander for coordination wrote in an open letter to the Palestinian
people that “your ongoing jihad for 76 years is beginning to bear fruit,” and that “the fateful
day for the realization of your historic mission is approaching, and we will all stand by your
side.”
Senior Houthi officials expressed support for Iran in the face of the Israeli and American
attacks, but did not carry out their own attacks against Israel or American vessels. After the
ceasefire, the Houthis made it clear that they would continue their attacks against Israel and
escalate them. A senior Houthi official claimed that more than 82,000 volunteers had
completed military training to fight Israel.
The pro-Iranian militias in Iraq threatened to act against American bases in the country
following the American attack on Iran, but there were no exceptional incidents. A senior
member of one of the militias was killed in an Israeli attack in Iran alongside a senior Qods
Force official and the personal security guard of former Hezbollah secretary-general Nasrallah.
