The Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) affirmed on Friday that the current negotiation process represents a battlefield requiring steadfastness and efficacy to counter external pressures, emphasizing the importance of supporting diplomatic efforts to achieve national goals. The statement praised internal cohesion and the pivotal role played by clerics and intellectuals in boosting morale and supporting resistance causes.
