IRGC Displays Missiles at Rallies, Warns Enemy of Strikes

In Iran, on 22 April 2026, the IRGC displayed missiles at rallies and warned the enemy of strikes. It said it is ready to create 'shocking events' beyond the enemy's comprehension on the battlefield and pledged 'surprises beyond enemy's imagination' against any aggression. The IRGC also stressed the need to monitor enemy actions during what it called a 'so-called ceasefire'.

Iran's Army chief called the unity of the Army and the IRGC a strategic asset for national security. Pezeshkian said the IRGC foiled enemies' plots, and a vice president called it an anchor of regional peace. Handelsblatt wrote that the IRGC demanded vigilance despite the ceasefire, and El País wrote that Iran showed off ballistic missiles during the ceasefire.
