TEHRAN – Multiple Iranian officials have warned in separate remarks that Tehran is prepared to launch more attacks against Israel if the regime responds to Operation True Promise II, which came in retaliation for the regime's assassination of multiple high-ranking Resistance officials and commanders in the past two months.

On Tuesday, Iran's armed forces launched almost 200 ballistic missiles at the occupied territories, hitting three military bases near Tel Aviv. 

Major General Mohammad Baqeri, chief of the General Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, provided insights into Operation True Promise II, stating that the Airspace Headquarters of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) executed the retaliatory strikes.

Baqeri emphasized, “The IRGC Airspace Headquarters successfully targeted significant installations within the Zionist regime using precise ballistic missile strikes, noting that despite these actions, the Islamic Republic of Iran adhered to necessary protocols by exclusively targeting military facilities.” 

“The IRGC ballistic missile strikes focused on three key military airbases: Mossad, identified as an assassination hub; Nevatim Airbase, known for housing F-35 aircraft fighters; and Hatzerim Airbase, associated with the assassination of secretary- general of Hezbollah,” he stated. 

Major General Baqeri warned that if the Zionist regime, which he described as increasingly reckless, continues its aggressive actions against Iran's sovereignty and territorial integrity without restraint from the United States and European Troika, the scale of future operations will be significantly larger, destroying all relevant infrastructures.

Additionally, the commander-in-chief of the Iranian Army stated that the ongoing actions of the Zionist regime would ultimately result in their complete downfall. 

Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi highlighted, “Despite numerous defense measures, missiles were still able to penetrate these defenses.”

He identified military objectives as the primary focus of the Islamic Republic of Iran at this time, asserting, “Should the Zionists err, we may opt to target their infrastructure as well.”

Mohsen Rezaei, a member of the Iranian Expediency Council and former commander of the IRGC, urged American officials and the Israeli regime to reconsider their actions and cease their offenses in the region; otherwise, they would face “extreme regret”. 

Rezaei pointed out that the greatest challenge for the United States and the occupying regime was their failure to grasp the significance of the Iranian nation's revolutionary patience and the strategic insight of its leadership. 

“The Iranian people have not forgotten the lessons of eight years of resistance during the Iran-Iraq war,” he added. 

Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, the speaker of the Iranian Parliament, stated during a parliamentary session on Wednesday, “Last night, the oppressors and warmongers, whose sole strength lies in airstrikes and acts of terrorism, were filled with fear, while the Muslim nations and freedom-loving individuals around the globe were filled with joy and hope.” 

Qalibaf emphasized that the adversary, who attempted to mask its strategic failures with tactical successes and undermined the psychological and structural integrity of the Resistance Front, believed it had neutralized Lebanon's Hezbollah through targeted assassinations and the martyrdom of Seyed Hassan Nasrallah. 

“However, they underestimated Hezbollah's resilience, which has emerged even stronger. Iran's missile response to this oppressive regime signifies that the Zionist regime only comprehends the language of missiles,” Qalibaf underscored.

Amir Saeed Iravani, Iranian Ambassador and Permanent Representative to the United Nations, issued a cautionary statement following the ballistic missile retaliation against Israel. 

Iravani emphasized, “This action was executed in line with the inherent right to legitimate defense as outlined in Article 51 of the United Nations Charter, and was a reaction to the aggressive actions impacting Tehran.” 

He further warned that if the Israeli regime were to repeat its terror acts, Iran's response would be prompt, resolute, and more severe than previous ones, with no hesitation.
