Any action by Israel against Iran will draw much bigger response: IRGC commander
A senior commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has warned that if the Zionists undertake a "significant action" against Iran, they will surely face a response "several times greater" in intensity.
"Iran's response depends on the intensity of the enemy's attack. If a significant action is taken, the response will certainly be several times greater," said Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari, speaking on the sidelines of a ceremony commemorating the martyred Iranian military advisor to Lebanon, Major General Abbas Nilforoushan.
Israel assassinated Nilforoushan and the leader of the Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, in southern Beirut on September 27.
On Tuesday, Jafari reassured the Iranian public regarding potential actions from the Zionists, characterizing them as "desperate."
"I assure the (Iranian) people with certainty that the Zionists will not undertake any significant or substantial action; whatever they do will be nothing more than a desperate attempt."
"The Zionist regime may carry out a desperate, limited, and minor attack," Jafari said, reiterating that it "definitely cannot" execute an operation comparable to Iran's Operation True Promise II.
On October 1, the IRGC launched hundreds of supersonic ballistic missiles toward the Israeli entity’s military, espionage and intelligence bases all over the occupied territories, inflicting damage on them.
The operation was in retaliation for the Israeli assassination of Nilforoushan as well as Hamas and Hezbollah leaders.
Addressing a mass funeral for Nilforoushan on Thursday, IRGC chief commander Major General Hossein Salami said that Operation True Promise II showcased small part of Iran’s military power and was just a warning to the Israeli regime.
