A senior commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) warned on February 17 that Iran would carry out a third missile strike against Israel at the “appropriate time”.
Over the past year, Iran launched two strikes with missiles and drones against Israel, in operations it dubbed True Promise 1 and 2, as a result of the war in the Gaza Strip and Lebanon.
“The True Promise 3 will be carried out in appropriate time,” said deputy commander-in-chief of the IRGC Brigadier General Ali Fadavi at Tehran’s Amirkabir University of Technology, in remarks carried by Iran’s Mehr news agency.
The senior commander was joined at the university, which was marking the 46th anniversary of the 1979 Islamic Revolution, by representatives of the Palestinian Hamas Movement, Lebanon’s Hezbollah and Yemen’s Houthis (Ansar Allah).
Fadavi also briefly touched on the war in Gaza, saying that the ongoing ceasefire and hostage release deal was proof that Israel “lost” against Hamas.
“Zionist regime officials themselves admit that Hamas won and they lost,” the commander said.
In April of last year, Iran launched its first-ever direct attack on Israel, launching some 300 attack drones and missiles in response to the killing of several IRGC members in an airstrike near Tehran’s consulate in the Syrian capital, Damascus.
Later in October, the Islamic Republic launched some 200 ballistic missiles at Israel in retaliation for the assassinations of former Hamas Hezbollah leaders Ismail Haniyeh and Hasan Nasrallah in Iranian capital, Tehran, and the Lebanese capital, Beirut.
Israel retaliated to both strikes by directly attacking targets in Iran. In the second time, Israeli retaliatory strikes hit key components of Iran’s air defense network as well as some rocket and drone manufacturing sites.
Earlier this month, The Washington Post reported that the United States intelligence assessments showed Israel is considering strikes on Iran’s nuclear program, and that the attacks could come as soon as mid-year.
Tensions between the two foes increased earlier this week when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that his country “can and will finish the job” against Tehran’s “axis of terror.” The remarks were widely seen as a threat to the Islamic Republic’s nuclear program.
While Fadavi’s warning appears to be serious, Iran will not likely move first against Israel. Still, the country could take action if it felt that an attack on its nuclear facilities was unavoidable.

you think we’re going to rush in head first just to impress public opinion? it’s a big chess game, it takes time. before we deal with israel, we have to clean up syria and that’s what’s happening. step by step.

i hate to use this boring hackneyed cliche, but, i’ll believe it when i see it.
that’s the only way to obliterate the jews in occupied palestine. a bounty on each jew would be a good start.in the quest to free the world from all jews!
hate speech wally is now an criminal offence carrying jail sentences and that’s from america england australia etc and it will be retrospective, you can bet charles is king of england and his great gran s genealogists proved that she was a direct descendant of king david wakey wakey snakey.
you’re a fully fledged idiot!!!!
foetal alcohol syndrome perhaps ? it piddles profusely on each forum thread under the same i.d’s. collects some income off it for sure with commentators’ responses and down ticks but it’s a troll-bot, and a top class shithead to boot. 💩💩💩 = 🇮🇱
we will get rid of all dictators, starting with zelenskyy the clown and eventually mullah khamenei. russia is our friend.
that is a biggest joke in here for some long time.
correct. there will no one authority for global rule of law when they’ve completed building back better. simply because “a house divided cannot stand”
the iranian obsession with a nation that is not even their neighbour and they should let the arabs fight on their own who whenever possible side with israel might be their undoing. isreals safety is paramound not just to the us/ eu/ nato/ g7 but to the china/ brics/ sco as well.
you should consider that lloyd-george never havd any authority to gift palestine to the jews, ever and that is why the jews hoccupation of palestine is illegal from day one, and that is why you can with kill the entire. group of jews with impunity!
england had approval from a multitude of nations around the world, including the islamic nations, to grant the jews a 20 year lease on palestine. you need to research properly.
the “obsession ” is that iran knows that israel is on the march to obtain what the hebrews 1000,s of years ago once controlled – a greater israel and that includes lebanon and syria –then israel will be iran,s neighbour.
yep the greater israel plan isvividly alive in the jewish mindset and now they are supported by the americ*unts, land for the jews and the oil for the c*nts. and iran is in the way for the jews wettest dream!
the zionist regime has bright nothing but despair and suffering to the region and it’s peoples. yet this religious cult survives through relentless, repeated indoctrination of it’s children . thou shalt not kill. though shall not steal. though shall not bear false witness / lie. the zombi mind is dangerous !!
yes, that indoctrination includes also children. and you are right on great commandments as well.
yeah, the jews need to go for the future of marnkind sans the jews. the lartter has brought nothing but misery and poverty and despair to the non-jewish part of mankind all the whilevthenjews have engaged in thievery and murder etc etc no end to the jews criminality!
idiot wake up the jews inhabiting israel from 1948 were there under duress of having had everything stolen from them by hitler. they were welcomed into germany by its government enticing them to come and enjoy living in the new free democratic german republic by massive advertising campaigns. do your homework.
as said ‘a fully fledged idiot’ and without any knowledge. a country that wasted lotsa money on alledgedly to no avail.
of course baits are laid in traps with purposes. outcomes matter.
iran has no credibility. it has weapons, but not the will to use them. it had allies, but not the will to support them. it had an opportunity to seize the initiative, but not the courage to use it. having left the initiative to its declared enemies, once they strike, it will suffer the military, political and social consequences of its leadership vacuum.
iran is ufcked up the ssa. this time for good. and also, fjb
are you an imbecile, like cleaner landown downs syndrome?
we’re waiting . . . . 😏
the jewsa and its satrap midgets in the uk/ eu have now enabled and actively participated in genocide, torture and ethnic cleansing. they have legitimised and normalised genocide, torture and ethnic cleansing. think about that. genocide. torture. ethnic cleansing. what are they going to do for an encore? bring back slavery and cannibalism? they will be shunned by the rest of the planet like rabid rats.
the jews are doomed, just wait and see!
king bela…
if you want to strike israel start with striking azerbaijan. aliyev assassinated irans president raisi togheter with israel and hasnt been properly punished for it. its time to remove the fake artificial entity of azerbaijan from the map. and kill aliyev for his crimes against humanity. hang him high.
