“If the illegitimate regime insists on aggressive actions, it will face a harsher and tougher punishment,” Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi, Commander-in-Chief of the Iranian Army said after Iranian armed forces conducted a drone and missile attack last night in response to the recent Israeli regime’s crimes in bombing of the Iranian consulate in Damascus.
“We also warn the American leaders that if they support the Zionist regime, all American bases and interests in the region will be attacked by Iran,” General Mousavi also said.
Iran’s retaliatory missile and drone strikes on Israel were launched after two weeks of strategic patience and meticulous planning and execution.
The operation included at least four waves of drone attacks. It is estimated that a total of 400 to 500 drones were launched.
On Sunday morning, the chief of staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, Major General Mohammad Bagheri, said Iran has concluded its retaliatory strikes on the occupied territories.
Bagheri downplayed the extent of the operation compared to what Iran is capable of, saying that it was merely a punishment and the country’s response to any further military action by the Israeli regime “will be much greater.”
