WANA (Sep 06) – The Deputy Coordinator of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Iran, referring to “The True Promise” operation and the targeting of the occupied territories, emphasized: “As the Leader of the Revolution stated, we will give a harsh response to the martyrdom of our dear guest, Martyr Ismail Haniyeh, but the timing of the response will be determined by the Commander-in-Chief and the senior commanders of the country.”

 

Brigadier General Ali Abdollahi, the Deputy Coordinator of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Iran, noted: “Our enemies have been humiliated and do not dare to violate the borders of the Islamic Republic, which is the result of resistance and steadfastness. Therefore, today we tell global arrogance not to test the resilience of the Iranian nation once again.”

 

He emphasized the necessity of strengthening the country’s defensive power, stating: “Many countries have equipment and weapons, but the will to use them is something different. The enemy knows that in Iran, there is the will to use them. In response to the martyrdom of General Soleimani, we targeted the Ayn al-Asad base with heavy and semi-heavy missiles. This was the first time in 70 years that U.S. interests were directly attacked.”

 

Referring again to “The True Promise” operation and the targeting of the occupied territories, Abdollahi stressed: “As the Leader of the Revolution said, we will give a harsh response to the martyrdom of our dear guest, Martyr Ismail Haniyeh, but the timing of the response will be determined by the Commander-in-Chief and senior commanders of the country.”

 

The Deputy Coordinator of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Iran further stated that the Zionist regime must await Iran’s response, adding: “Israel should not think that there will be no response, as the Islamic Republic has demonstrated its determination to use all available means to respond to the enemy’s aggression against this land.”
