Iranian military chief pledges retaliation if Israel strikes Iran
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.”
