The killing of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) commander Brigadier General Abbas Nilforoushan by Israel in Lebanon “will not go unanswered,” Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said on September 29.
Nilforoushan, deputy commander of IRGC operations, was killed on September 27 in as a result of an Israeli strike on the southern suburbs of the Lebanese capital, Beirut, that targeted Hassan Nasrallah, Secretary-General of Hezbollah.
The United States sanctioned Nilforoushan in 2022 and said he was “directly in charge of protest suppression” amid demonstrations in Iran over the death of Mahsa Amini following her arrest for allegedly not wearing her headscarf.
Nilforoushan also served in Syria, backing Syrian government forces against militants seeking to overthrow President Bashar al-Assad.
In 2020, Iranian state television called Nilforoushan a “comrade” of Gen. Qassem Soleimani, the head of the IRGC expeditionary Quds Force who was killed in a U.S. drone attack in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad, that year.
A report released by the New York Times on September 29 said that there are divisions within Iran’s government over how to respond to Israel’s killing of Nasrallah and Nilforoushan.
Conservatives with the government want Tehran to respond to the killing with a strike that would deter Israel from potentially hitting Iran, while new Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian argued that doing so would mean they would be falling into a trap laid by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to widen the war.
Citing four unnamed Iranian officials who allegedly knew Nasrallah, the newspaper reported that Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei “had been deeply shaken by his friend’s death and was in mourning, but had assumed a calm and pragmatic posture.”
The report noted that Khamenei appeared to signal that a response to the assassination may come from Hezbollah rather than directly from Iran.
It’s worth noting that Iran had refrained from responding after Ismail Haniyeh, the leader of the Palestinian Hamas Movement, was killed in Tehran last July. Israeli intelligence was reportedly behind the assassination.
A direct Iranian strike against Israel, similar to the one that was carried out last April after the bombing of the Iranian embassy in Syria, could indeed open the door for Netanyahu to expand the war from the Gaza Strip and Lebanon to Iran with help from the U.S.

their revenge queue must be very backlogged at this point, they haven’t even got to the haniyeh retaliation. is it going to be fifo, lifo or something else?
the jews must be seething with anger that iran’s retaliation has not yet come..to give them a reason to expand their war aims. credit rating agencies have downgraded israel to just above junk level. all this war mongering is projected to cost $65 billion by the end of next year at the current rate. but dont worry, israel’s finance ministry is run by smotrich. hahahahaha
revenge is a dish served cold.
before nasrallah they have murdered two general secretaries, and evry time resistance arive stronger and more detrimental.
you cannot fix deranged. they think by killing the leadership of a guerilla force, they can declare victory and sail off into the sunset. lol. its like thinking killing sinwar will solve their gaza problems. no no, the jews problems are genetic and psychological. they cannot be fixed by military solutions at all. nobody understands this in israel’s elites
no, it was helped into its martyrdumb with a rocket in its huge g@y @sshole
lol
or piping hot, about now – don’t sllow the fat nazi-runt netanyahu gloat around the world! he should be in a cage, naked and passed around the villages in the me, being pelted with whatever nasties around.
they have no idea when iran is gonna hit them.
you mean g@yran!?
those dudes in a dress can’t make shyt happen.
so, back to the sewer like rats it is!
lol
you are laughing stock in here.
they are laughing at mighty iran, just like the rest of the world 😂
“the world” is not your american-english-jewish circus. do not conflate the rest of us, with that trash. i doubt anybody is laughing at any of the suffering..unless you are english, american or jewish. you probably are laughing because we are not playing by your timeline
his gf is taller than him. be human, not like he is. understand his upper cleaner dick osucking position.
that was not me, but i am laughing at g@yran too!
lol
yes, niggara, that was you. will catch you and see how you can talk with a glock in your mouth.
their world is 11% of humanity, and the remaining 89% have had a bellyful of its arrogance, atrocities and criminality. that 11% will be treated like a rabid dog, isolated and irrelevant, a pariah ignored by the rest of the planet and left to stew in its own juice.
iran has ran out of options. dominos falling piece by piece. iranian general after iranian general. islamic terrorist after islamic terrorist. up next:
ayatolla assahola now hiding like a filthy sewer rat in tehran
they desperately want this war of attrition to turn into a war of destruction, because they´re losing attrition. look, they killed arafat, did they get peace? they killed sheik yassin, did they get peace? they killed haniyeh, no peace. yet nasrallah, and hezbollah hit the biggest settlement near jerusalem, cutting power off to hundreds. let them invade lebanon and get obliterated like in 2006, if it makes them feel better about missing a part of their wiener lol
meanwhile israel fear to invade lebanon as they did in 2006 that was a complety failure
the response will be : “please don’t hurt us anymore 🤕, we will be good 😭”
them kikers gonna do such shit. we inocent, we do nothing wrong.
haha!
lol
the response: please don’t kill me.
-ayatolla assahola
why do people like most goyims constantly believe the jews lies, are they crazy?
why do idiots believe in iranian islamonazi propaganda lies??
because jews speak the truth.
yeah, sure. hahaha
fafo f@gg bois!
they never do shit they just talk, i really thought iran was a better nation than this, its beyond pathetic
oh, they do shyt. believe that. they take a huge dump of shyt when they pray 5 times a day. and than afterwards they go to the bathroom and pray to yallah while masterbating in the shower.
lol
the usa should bomb israel and london to regain it’s independence from these zionist monsters. the usa military could work for america for once.
israel should bomb all radical islamist states. by kylling all the radical ishlomists the region will be free from the satnist radical ishlam and their pestilence.
i like my version better.
lol
lol. what response? supporting terrorists?
they will respond to their normal business as usual:
marrying six year old girls, and raping for fun. like mohammad like ayatollah.
shlomo cornered the kiddie fiddling market a long time ago.
start with a couple of hypersonic missiles on the deck of abraham lincoln and then a massive attack on the heartland stolen by the scum and which they believe is protected by the iron dome pleeease. the iron doom can’t protect the jews, it’s a sieve and the massive numbers of hypersonic missiles will devastate the stolen land and make the jews, like the dront, extinct. all at 6 feet under!
hassan nasrallah fought isis and defeated isis. shlomo and his goy accomplices in the cia and mi6, and the quisling whores in the gulf dictatorships, created isis, armed isis, bankrolled isis, and orchestrated its head chopping and throat slitting antics. that’s the difference. that’s all you need to know about hassan nasrallah. a great man whose memory is to be cherished. he is worth a million shlomos and a million goy whores. may he rest in peace.
iran should naturally close down the hormuz, put a few nasties into every loadingfacility in the gulf plus take out the abraham lincoln. not much the nazis can do except bombing iran’s cities and kill women, children and the elderly just like the jews do and have done for the last 300 years.
sink the world economy and blame thenjews!
the only revenge that would deter bebe the war criminal chickenchit ñetañahu and his treasonous zionist-enslaved, israel-first, {fight to the last us soldier for the tiny welfare funded banana republic of israel} puppets in the us government,military & main stream media is iran getting nooks. everything else is bushit. look what happened in gaza, lebanon and haniyeh & nasrallah. same thing is going to happen to the irgc & the mullahs
i dont trust iran words anymore. they are afriad of war. with israel and us. us/israel keep killing top figure and iran is just talking time will come when no top adviser in military will be alive . and us will easily invade iran killing everyone
when a big missile hits central tel aviv get back to me.
