Here’s a better translation of the IRGC’s response as the translator did a poor job imo:

| IRGC General: I personally do not have any official responsibility to answer this question, but for the sake of clarification, let me tell you this:
Our battle with the US and the Zionist regime did not just begin, and it will not end anytime soon. The tactics we choose for this prolonged confrontation are based on our own conditions, and no outside (foreign) interpretation will influence them.
We are the soldiers of our Leader. As he has said: “We will neither delay, nor rush.”
General Hajizadeh also stated that the operation will be carried out at the right time. Any other claims are just external noise.
As we’ve demonstrated up to now, we have never retreated — not from our rights, and not from our red lines. I’m not in a position to say if TP3 is ready or not, for that the responsibility lies with those in charge, namely the General Staff of the Armed Forces, who will make that call.
Whenever the time comes, they will notify us — and by “us,” I mean the Armed Forces & the Aerospace Division.
