The Chief of the General Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, General Mohamad Hossein Baqeri, assured that his country “has no intention of continuing the operation” against Israel, which he sees as “complete” after launching 170 drones, 30 cruise missiles and 120 ballistic, the vast majority neutralized by the Israeli authorities with the support of countries such as the United States, Great Britain and France.
However, Baqerí renewed the warnings against Tel Aviv in the event of a possible response to what happened last night. “Iran’s response to any aggression will be stronger,” she threatened. A position that the commander-in-chief of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, General Hossein Salamí, had already expressed shortly before in statements to Iranian television.
The chief of staff of the Armed Forces directly warned the US. “Through the Swiss embassy, ??we sent a message to the US saying that if it cooperates with Israel in its possible actions against Iran its bases (in the region ) will not have any security and we will deal with them,” Baqerí told Iranian media. The Americans have asked Israel to carefully consider its response.
Tonight’s attack has been Iran’s long-announced response to the attack on this country’s embassy in Damascus, not yet claimed by Israel, reports Janira Gómez Muñoz from Jerusalem. Seven officers of the Revolutionary Guards died in that attack, two of whom were senior commanders of this elite corps.
Hours after the military operation against Israel, Iranian authorities unveiled a new mural in the city of Tehran. “The next slap will be stronger,” he says in the drawing.
