A spokesman for Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has said that Israel will face a “harsh revenge” for the assassination of Brigade General Seyed Razi Mousavi.
Brigadier General Ramezan Sharif made the remarks during a news conference on December 27, just two days after the senior IRGC commander was killed in an Israeli strike on his home in the southern outskirts of the Syrian capital, Damascus.
Asked whether Iran will retaliate directly to or through the “Axis of Resistance,” a network of regional armed factions supported by the IRGC, Sharif said that “a combination of the two will certainly be carried out.”
The spokesman argued that Israel targeted Mousavi due to the “irreparable defeats” it suffered following the October 7 Hamas-led surprise attack from the Gaza Strip. “[Israel killed Mousavi] in order to get rid of the pressure of the relentless attacks of the resistance front in Gaza.”
“We will respond accordingly, directly or indirectly through the resistance axis,” Shairf threatened.
He further called the assassination of Mousavi an “act of terror” and vowed the response “will be decisive at the right time and place.”
Mousavi was in charge of providing “logistical support to the Axis of Resistance in Syria,” the IRGC said in the statement announcing his death on December 25, adding that he was a “companion” of late Quds Force commander Major General Qasem Soleimani, who was assassinated by the United States in Iraq around four years ago.
Iran’s official Islamic Republic News Agency described Mousavi as one of the “most experienced advisors” of the IRGC’s elite Quds Force.
Senior Iranian officials, including President Ebrahim Rasi and Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, have vowed revenge for Mousavi’s death. Lebanon’s Hezbollah said that it regards the killing as a “flagrant and shameless violation,” according to Iran’s state-owned Press TV.
Asked on December 26 about the assassination of Mousavi, iIsrael’s military chief Lieutenant General Herzi Halevi declined to comment but said Israeli forces work throughout the region.
Over the past decade, Israel has conducted hundreds of strikes against both Iranian-backed factions and Syrian military forces inside Syria. Israel escalated strikes on the country after the outbreak of the war in Gaza.

get over it..the united states of america is a tiger paper without claws defeated several times on the field by sandal wearing freedom fighters worldwide.
the united-states just like in vietnam won every fucking battle in the middle-east! this election year we just have to remove sleepy biden from office and his criminal gang that stole the election and took over this country! biden works for china and that is the only reason why the afghan withdrawal was so disastrous! but since you want to talk about a nation’s forces, let’s talk about how the ukrainians are nazis and are kicking the russian asses!
oh really? won every battle in vietnam?
talk about dementia and sleepy biden, you suffer from the same mental disorder watchman
yes they won because they reached their objectives: war profiteering and drugs trafficking. they are now ‘winning’ in donbass.
you need to pull john wayne out of your ass and learn to actually think for yourself…unless that would leave you completely brainless. then again, that would make you and diaper don nearly twins. ooohhh, that smell. lol.
get serious about it iran, or stop talking, a few cyber attacks or missile strikes isn’t scaring anyone anymore
i wonder if israel is trying to provoke a disproportional response while the other evil twin is supplying the money, weapons and soldiers if necessary.
if the yankees step in the war against iran, the home front will cry and cry and cry because in the first 24 h there will be 20 000 carbonised yankees. i dont think the people in us like there loved ones be exterminated for the zionist parasites.
it has already been well proven that israel is a paper tiger that can’t even finish off a few thousand hamas terrorist in the tiny gaza strip. iran can directly or have their proxies attack israel at a place and time of their choosing and there’s nothing the idf will be able to do. biden isn’t even responding to houthie attacks on us ships and definitely won’t go to war with iran for netanyahu, because it will inevitably lead to losing the elections to trump
but if trump wins the election, he will also kiss israel’s backside’s.
there is no one in the entire western world and hardly any in the rest of the world who won’t do that. to go against them is just not woth it for most while to go with them is so rewarding. they are really good at the game of thrones.
