Tehran:An Iranian military official has issued a stark warning in response to comments attributed to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about the potential for conflict between Iran and Israel.
According to Maan News Agency, Major General Ali Abdollahi, the Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces, stated that Iran would decisively destroy Israel if a new confrontation were to occur. This statement was made in response to Netanyahu's purported remarks suggesting a zero-sum scenario between the two nations.
The Iranian Fars News Agency cited Abdollahi, who highlighted that despite utilizing various military capabilities and advanced weapons, Israel and the United States have not been successful in achieving their objectives against Iran, particularly in terms of its destruction.
Abdollahi further commented that the so-called enemies, referring to Israel and the United States, have been unable to fulfill their aims despite entering confrontations with substantial resources. He described them as the current losers in the ongoing struggle.
Moreover, Abdollahi issued a warning that any future conflict would include unforeseen "surprises," which would become evident as the confrontation unfolds. His remarks were made during the unveiling of a new missile city by the Aerospace Force of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, showcasing an array of ballistic and cruise missiles along with their launch systems within an underground facility.
