A high-ranking commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has warned that any mistake by the enemy will draw “a harsh and regret-inducing response” from the elite force and the rest of the Iranian armed forces.
Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, the commander of the IRGC’s Aerospace Division, made the remarks on Sunday, in response to messages of appreciation from Iranian officials and people following the recent retaliatory operation against the Israeli regime, dubbed Operation True Promise II.
Hajizadeh said that members of the IRGC Aerospace Force, along with other Iranian armed forces, “are ready and alert and with open eyes, so that in the event of a mistake by the enemies of this border and region, they will give a harsh and regretful response to the rotting and decaying body of the enemy."
He further noted that “undoubtedly, the successful Operation True Promise II, which was carried out to punish the evil and criminal Zionist regime, was launched with the unified decision of the government officials, the approval of the Supreme National Security Council, the unwavering support of the presidency, and the approval and guidance of the Commander-in-Chief of Iranian armed forces.”
On October 1, Iran launched two hundred ballistic missiles towards the Zionist entity, in a retaliatory attack dubbed Operation True Promise II.
Iran has reiterated that the missile attack against Israel was a response to the regime’s brutal wars in Palestine and Lebanon and its sabotage activities in Iran in recent months. Authorities have warned that any counterattack by Israel would face more destructive responses from Iran.
Since early October 2023, Israel has been waging brutal two-front aggression that has killed at least 42,000 people in the Gaza Strip and 2,141 others in Lebanon so far.
Over the same period, the usurping regime has also assassinated several resistance leaders, including Hamas’s political bureau chief Ismail Haniyeh and Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.
