THE chief of Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard said today Israel would be hit with more missile barrages if it strikes Iran.

The message was delivered by General Hossein Salami at a funeral ceremony for Iranian Guard commander Abbas Nilforoushan, who was killed alongside Hezbollah general secretary Hassan Nasrallah in Beirut in September.

The general said: “Do not repeat your mistake — if you misbehave, if you strike anything of ours either in the region or in Iran, we will again hit you painfully.”
