Iran’s Top General Warns: Initial Strikes Against Israel Merely a Prelude to Punitive Actions
In a direct and forceful statement on Tuesday, Iran's highest-ranking military official cautioned the Israeli leadership and its Western allies, announcing that "punitive operations" are imminent.
A spokesperson stated that the Zionist regime has recently conducted attacks on Iranian civilians, including women, children, and the elderly, under the pretext of military objectives.
A spokesperson stated that the regime has blatantly violated established international laws and, following the killing of approximately 300 journalists in Gaza and Lebanon, has initiated a brutal attack on media professionals from the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB), aiming to suppress the dissemination of truth.
He declared that the resilient Iranian nation, known for its historical resistance to aggression, will steadfastly oppose this brutal action and ensure that the Zionist regime is held accountable for its alleged crimes, with divine favor.
Through divine power, the martyrdom of our esteemed compatriots, scientists, and military commanders will serve to bolster our determination to execute a formidable retaliation.
Major General Mousavi announced that since Friday, the IRGC aerospace force and the air-defense Headquarters, with backing from the Army, the IRGC, the Law-Enforcement Command, and the Ministry of Defense, have delivered significant impacts on adversaries by targeting critical and sensitive locations.
He indicated that the actions taken thus far have served solely as a deterrent warning, with more severe punitive measures set to be implemented soon.
He further cautioned residents of the occupied territories, with a particular emphasis on Tel Aviv and Haifa, to evacuate these regions promptly for their safety and to avoid becoming casualties to what he described as Netanyahu’s aggressive ambitions.
The leader issued a stirring declaration, assuring the free peoples of the world that Iran, under the leadership of its armed forces, intends to avenge the blood of its martyrs, expressing confidence in divine support for their cause.
