Iran threatens Israel again: “Waiting to attack again”

Iran continues to issue direct and unequivocal threats of war against Israel, and yesterday (Monday) a senior member of the Revolutionary Guards said that they were preparing to carry out another attack on Israel. Two days after the express threat of Iran’s representation at the UN with a “war of annihilation” against Israel, yesterday the commander of the Revolutionary Guards Air Force said that they were preparing to attack Israel again with missiles.”We expect and wish for Operation ‘True Promise’ 2,” said Amir-Ali Hajizadeh, commander of the IRGC’s air and space forces. Operation “True Promise” is the name given in Iran to the extensive attack on Israel on the night between April 13 and 14.

He referred to Iran’s previous operations against the United States, and described how they shot down an American aircraft in the past, and how they launched 13 missiles at the Ain al-Assad base of the American forces in Iraq after the assassination of Qasem Soleimani, apparently in an attempt to give credibility and seriousness to his words.

He also went on to describe how the Revolutionary Guard forces under his command launched more than 300 missiles and drones at Israel. “I do not know how many missiles the next attack on Israel will include,” he said. (the Palestinian name for the October 7 massacre), with the support of the resistance front, will lead to a complete victory for the Palestinian people.”

Hajizadeh issued the threat as part of a meeting with the families of Hamas terrorists who were killed in the fighting in Gaza, and received an honorable welcome in Iran. In the photos published from the meeting, Khajizada was seen hugging children who came to visit him, and posed with his visitors under displays of missiles and rockets and Palestinian flags.

On the night between Friday and Saturday, the Iranian delegation to the United Nations, which is considered the official representation of Iran in the US and the West, announced that “all options are on the table” and that Israel’s war against Hezbollah could develop into a “war of extermination.” In a tweet on Network X, it is stated that “even though Iran sees the Zionist regime’s propaganda about an attack on Lebanon as psychological warfare, if it launches a full-scale military operation, a war of extermination will begin.” It also states that “all options are on the table, including the full involvement of all resistance fronts.”
