TEHRAN: Iranian Army Commander Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi says that the country will launch missiles at anywhere in occupied Palestine if necessary.
The Iranian Army chief made the remarks in a ceremony in Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad Province on Thursday.
In his remarks, Mousavi hailed Operation True Promise during which Iran attacked Israel with a barrage of drones and missiles in response to the Zionists’ shelling of the Iranian consulate in Damascus on April 1.
Iran’s response was a legitimate act of defense against the illegitimate action of the child-killing Zionist regime, he stressed.
The child-killing Zionist regime with its barbarism in Gaza is horribly martyring innocent people to create an unbreakable image of itself, but Operation True Promise shattered this image.
The Israeli regime attacked Iran’s consulate in the Syrian capital of Damascus on April 1. The Israeli aggression led to the destruction of the entire building and the martyrdom and injury of the entire people inside it.
Seven of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) military advisors were martyred following the Israeli attack on Iran’s consulate in Damascus, IRGC said in a statement.
In response to the Israeli aggression, Iran attacked the Israeli-occupied Palestinian territories with a barrage of drones and missiles early on Sunday.
Following the attack, Iran announced that it does not seek to create tension in the region and had carried out the anti-Zionist operation to punish the Zionist regime. However, the Iranian political and military officials have strongly warned that the country would give a severe response in case of any fresh Israeli aggression.
