Defense official warns Iran to soon retaliate with a ‘devastating attack’ on Israel – Wereldnieuws.nl

DUBAI, October 30. /TASS/. Iran will soon retaliate for the latest Israeli attack, said Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Naghdi, deputy coordinator of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC).

“In the coming days you will see even more devastating attacks against the Zionist regime (Israel – TASS). We will overwhelm them with our proactivity and ingenuity,” Iran said. Al-Alam TV channel quoted the defense official as follows.

On October 26, the Israeli military said it had struck military sites in Iran in response to “numerous ongoing attacks.” The country’s air defense forces said in a statement that damage was limited and that air defense systems had successfully repelled the main attack.

Iran’s General Staff said the attack was launched from Iraqi airspace over territory controlled by US forces. The Israeli attacks killed at least four Iranian soldiers and one civilian.

On October 1, the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC, the elite unit of the Iranian armed forces) launched a massive ballistic and hypersonic missile attack on Israel in retaliation for the deaths of top leaders of the Hamas, Hezbollah and IRGC groups. Tehran said 90% of the missiles successfully hit their designated targets. Israel, in turn, said Iran had fired about 180 missiles at the country, most of which were intercepted.
