Top Commander Warns of Iran’s Decisive Response to US-Backed Israeli Threatening Moves

Major General Rashid said his headquarters “considers the Zionist regime to be the number one threat to Iran’s national security”.

Pointing to the comments from the “criminal Zionist officials” who have accepted responsibility for the threat of military action against Iran’s nuclear facilities and national interests and security, the military official noted that “such Israeli threats are made in coordination with and under the aegis of the US”.

He also warned that the Iranian Armed Forces will give decisive and proportional responses to the threats, reminding all elements, mercenaries and governments that cooperate with the Zionist regime in threatening Iran’s national security that they will have to pay a price.

Iranian officials say the armed forces’ deterrent power dissuades Israel from implementing its threats against the country. Tehran describes Israel as the root cause of the region’s instability and insecurity, but also stresses Israel’s US-supported barbarity will not change the inevitable fate of the Tel Aviv regime.

Iran has repeatedly warned that any mistake by the US and Israel will be met with Tehran’s crushing response. Iranian officials say Washington and Tel Aviv are well aware of Tehran’s capabilities and capacities, and caution that Tehran does not compromise or joke with its national security.

Back in August, Spokesman of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Brigadier General Ramezan Sharif said that the Israeli regime is in the worst security situation and under intense pressure, adding that Tel Aviv is unable to take any measures against Tehran and only resorts to saber-rattling.

“The Zionist regime is experiencing the worst security condition and is under intense pressure,” Brig. Gen. Sharif noted.

He stated that the Zionists have repeatedly claimed that security prevails across the 27,000 square kilometers of occupied Palestinian territories that they control.

“Their (Israelis) measures have no impact on the Islamic Republic at all because they are unable to confront Iran,” the IRGC commander continued, stressing the Islamic Republic is not impacted by the regime’s actions.

In July, Brigadier General Sharif issued a strong warning to Israel over military threats, stressing that the Tel Aviv regime will lose the 27 thousand square kilometers of the occupied territories in case of any folly by the Israeli military.

“Zionists are trying hard to threaten the Islamic Republic of Iran. We warn the usurping Israeli regime that it will permanently lose the 27,000 square kilometers of territories that it has occupied if it makes such a mistake,” the top commander said.

“There’s no doubt about this threat,” he added.
