A high-ranking officer in the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) has cautioned that if Israel carries out any more military attacks on the country's territory, then Iran would respond with a more significant retaliation.
Tehran -ISNA- His comments came after the IRGC launched a massive operation late Saturday, targeting the occupation entity with dozens of missiles and drones in response to the attack on Iran's consulate in Damascus last week, which resulted in the martyrdom of seven senior IRGC advisors, including Brigadier General martyr Mohammad Reza Zahedi, the leader of the IRGC's Quds Force in Syria and Lebanon.
In a statement, the IRGC said that the operation targeting Israel, dubbed "Truthful Promise," came following the "silence and neglect" of international organizations regarding the attack on the consulate and the assassination of its senior members. The statement pointed out that the United Nations Security Council also failed to condemn the Israeli aggression or punish the entity in accordance with Article 7 of the UN Charter.
The senior IRGC commander warned that any attack on Iranian soil would see a response with "twice the force".
