A high-ranking commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) says Iran’s retaliatory operation against Israel sent shivers down the occupying regime’s spine, prompting its authorities to cry out for no further action from the Islamic Republic.
Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, the commander of the IRGC’s Aerospace Division, said on Saturday that Israeli officials made a grave miscalculation by launching attacks against the consular section of Iran’s embassy in the Syrian capital Damascus in early April.
“Iranian officials are not seeking a war. Nevertheless, they honor certain red lines which Israelis had not taken into consideration. They (Israeli authorities) did not expect Iran to respond,” Hajizadeh stated.
The IRGC general noted that Israeli officials came to know about Iran’s definite decision for the punitive strike following Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei’s speech on April 10, when he said the Tel Aviv regime “must be punished and will be punished” for its deadly strike on the Iranian diplomatic mission.
