WANA (May 08) – Major General Hossein Salami, Commander-in-Chief of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), issued a direct and forceful warning to Israeli and American officials during a speech at a religious site, stating that any wrong move, would open the gates of Hell as a response from Iran to Israel and America.

 

“I raise two serious points—These are grave warnings to the Zionist authorities and stern cautions to the officials of the United States of America!” Salami said.

 

Regarding the Israeli Prime Minister’s recent threat to Iran, he stated: “The criminal Prime Minister of the Zionist regime is constantly speaking these days, making threats, threatening Iran. I must deliver a serious and real warning to these enemies: if you make even the slightest misstep, we will open the gates of hell upon you.”

 

Salami emphasized Iran’s readiness for confrontation: “We have made extensive preparations for you. If you make a mistake, we will bring upon you such a calamity that you will completely forget the operations True Promise 1 and 2.”

 

“Pay close attention: you couldn’t—and still can’t—tolerate even a single missile launched by the heroic Ansarullah of Yemen at your airport. How will you withstand hundreds or thousands of missiles? Stay in your place,” General Salami warned.

 

Turning to U.S. officials, the IRGC commander warned that while Iran prioritizes diplomacy, it is fully prepared for war. “To the U.S. political authorities: Know this—regarding the nuclear issue, our preference and the government’s priority is to pursue and resolve the matter through diplomacy, justly and free of threats. But if you threaten us, know that we are ready for war on any scale.”

 

He added, “With your current threats and new sanctions, you have only proven yourselves to be untrustworthy and unreliable. Be fully aware: the Islamic Republic of Iran is 5555not pursuing nuclear weapons voluntarily and out of political will, and has excluded it from its defense doctrine based on its beliefs.”

 

“But know Iran has a powerful alternative—something far more admirable than the lifting of sanctions. Great Iran will never abandon its vital interests,” he clarified.

 

Salami continued: “Unfortunately, the Israeli Prime Minister’s fabrications are now influencing the minds of U.S. officials, trying to drag America into another endless war in the Middle East. Yet the United States has had bitter experiences in this region.”

 

“America knows that war has not resolved any of its problems. Rather, it has left the U.S. with an exhausted military, a defeated economy, trillions of dollars in wasted expenditures, and no political gain—only marginalization in the region,” he stated.

 

He concluded: “U.S. officials should act with reason and not fall into the trap of the criminal Israeli Prime Minister, who seeks to sacrifice America for his own personal interests. But regardless, we are prepared for any scenario.”
