In a statement released Sunday, Iran`s armed forces vowed to continue their "resistance" to the U.S. and Israel until their "complete defeat."

"The General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran has pledged to continue resistance against the United States and the Israeli regime in the region until the complete defeat of its enemies and the fulfillment of the Iranian people`s demands," the statement said, in part, according to the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA).

The statement was released Sunday to "mark the anniversary of the return of Iranian prisoners of war following the 1980-1988 Iran-Iraq War," according to the statement, which also called for "retaliation over the assassination" of former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the IRNA said.

Iranian parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, meanwhile, said in statements carried by IRNA and Fars News Agency that Tehran had already achieved victory over the U.S. and Israel.

Ghalibaf claimed that the U.S. and Israel had failed to achieve any of their goals, describing the June Memorandum of Understanding signed with the U.S. as "a document of pride and victory" and "a step towards solidifying our victory in the diplomatic arena."
