As the diplomatic posture of the United States and Iran demonstrate signs of de-escalation, a senior comander in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Abdollah Araghi, said that his country would take “harsher revenge soon”.
According to Tasnim news agency, he did not specify what that might entail. The announcement took place a day after the Iranian missile strike on US bases in Iraq and goes contrary to remarks by Iranian Permanent Representative to the United Nations Majid Takht-Ravanchi that Iran won’t take any new military steps if there is no US aggression.
IRGC Deputy Head Ali Fadavi described the Iranian attack on US forces as a display of the Islamic Republic’s military capabilities claiming that the US “couldn’t do a damn thing” about the strikes.
