According to state media, General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Air Force, used harsh words at an event in Tehran.
A few months ago, both countries were on the brink of a major regional war. The Revolutionary Guards fired hundreds of drones and missiles at Israel in an operation called “Sincere Promise” on April 13. The attack was the result of a suspected Israeli attack on the Iranian embassy compound in the Syrian capital Damascus, in which two generals were killed in early April.

Hajizadeh said he hoped for the opportunity for a second such operation. “I don’t know how many rockets will be needed for that,” he added. The threat is likely to be linked to the recent tensions between Israel and Lebanon. Just last weekend, the Iranian UN mission threatened a “devastating war” in the event of an escalation between Israel and the Hezbollah militia.
Since the start of the Gaza war, the decades-old conflict between Israel and the Islamic Republic of Iran has escalated dramatically. The Jewish state finds itself under fire on several fronts following attacks by militias allied with Iran. Since the 1979 revolution, the USA and Israel have been considered arch enemies of the Islamic Republic. Netanyahu has also described Iran as the “most important enemy” in the past.
