Iran warns of potential strikes on Israel’s critical infrastructure if provoked
TEHRAN – Iran will target Israeli energy and gas installations if Israel attacks it, Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) deputy commander Rear Admiral Ali Fadavi said on Friday.
“If the occupiers make such a mistake, we will target all their energy sources, installations and all refineries and gas fields,” Fadavi said.
Fadavi emphasized that, unlike Iran, which boasts a large and economically diverse landscape, Israel has only a handful of key facilities, making it vulnerable to such strikes.
Fadavi cautioned that if Israel makes any strategic errors, it risks its own survival. "If Israel makes a mistake, it will expose its very existence to destruction," he warned, stressing that in the event of conflict, Iran is prepared to target all of Israel’s energy resources, including its gas fields, power stations, and refineries.
Earlier this week, Iran launched a missile attack on Israeli-occupied territories in retaliation for the killings of key Resistance leaders. The IRGC confirmed that nearly 90% of the missiles fired successfully hit their intended targets. The strikes came in response to the assassinations of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, Hezbollah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, and IRGC commander Abbas Nilforooshan.
Iran's Defense Minister elaborated on the scope of the operation, revealing that the missile strikes targeted Israeli military installations, including an intelligence headquarters and three military bases. He highlighted that the operation, dubbed True Promise Operation II, was carried out with precision and in accordance with international law. "No civilian sites were among Iran's targets," he noted, reaffirming that the strikes were aimed solely at military and intelligence assets linked to the Zionist regime.
