Leader’s Aide Issues Stark Warning to israel, US: ‘Next Retaliation Will Surpass Expectations’

In a ceremony held on Monday, Major General Yahya Rahim-Safavi, the former chief commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), delivered his remarks.

Iran has signaled that any new act of aggression could provoke a retaliatory response that surpasses expectations, according to recent statements.

Thousands of missiles have reportedly been aimed at targets perceived as adversaries.

An official stated that comprehensive knowledge has been acquired regarding the adversaries’ interests, structures, bases, and forces across the West Asia region.

Safavi highlighted the extensive reach of the IRGC, emphasizing that details about the bases are stored within target banks linked to “thousands of the Corps’ missiles.”

The remarks followed a series of successful defensive exercises and retaliatory actions by the armed forces of the Islamic Republic, which took place in response to an unprovoked conflict initiated by Israel. These military maneuvers eventually led to Israel seeking a ceasefire.

During the operations, forces effectively intercepted a significant number of incoming projectiles and successfully downed several hostile aircraft.

Hundreds of ballistic missiles, encompassing multi-warhead and hypersonic types, were launched towards significant nuclear, military, and industrial locations within the occupied Palestinian territories as a measure of retaliatory action.

In a critical move within the framework of Operation True Promise III, strikes targeted Tel Aviv, recognized as the economic center of the Israeli regime; Haifa, known for its significant deep-water port; and Be’er Sheva, the heart of technological and developmental activity.

An advisor has indicated that the forces are prepared to launch an intensified offensive against regional interests and bases of the adversaries. Should there be any further miscalculations by the opponents, these assets will face significant threats.

**”Iran Declares ‘Great Satan, Lesser Satan’ Destined for Failure”**

An official has condemned the regime, labeling it as the “Lesser Satan,” while also characterizing the United States, its primary ally that has offered unparalleled military and intelligence assistance during the conflict, with the same designation.

A veteran with over four decades of experience in opposition claims that ultimate victory is destined for the resilient and mighty Iranian nation, while predicting downfall for the entities referred to as the “Great Satan” and the “Lesser Satan.”

He highlighted that during the conflict, the pair made unsuccessful attempts to achieve their aims of subjugating the nation, splitting it, overturning the accomplishments of the 1979 Islamic Revolution, and orchestrating a coup.

Safavi stated that their objectives were unsuccessful against the “invincible” nation “through divine grace and under the Leader’s guidance.”

“Experts Suggest Zionists Approaching an Accelerated Decline”

The advisor predicted an accelerated decline for the Zionist entity, emphasizing that the scenario described by the Leader, envisioning the entity’s dissolution within a “25-year” timeframe, is now unfolding at a faster pace.

He asserted that the sacrifices made by those who lost their lives due to the actions of the Israeli regime would ultimately lead to the downfall of the “Zionist regime.”

“The end of the Zionist regime and Netanyahu is approaching,” he stated, alluding to the prime minister who has intensified lethal actions across the region, including a genocidal conflict in the Gaza Strip, since October 2023.

US Strategy for West Asia Faces Setback

In other parts of his speech, Safavi stated that the United States has not succeeded in implementing its “Greater” West Asia plan, which aimed to deepen Washington’s influence in the region and extend its involvement beyond the area’s boundaries.

He stated that the future of Greater West Asia is likely to be influenced by Iran’s Islamic Revolution and the Regional Resistance Axis.

An official has forecasted that the growing empowerment of the 1.5 billion-strong Muslim population is anticipated to contribute to a reduction in the influence of the United States.
