In a fiery speech, Hossein Salami, the commander-in-chief of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), asserted that Israel is teetering on the brink of collapse, describing it as a “suicidal state.” Salami’s comments reflect Iran’s escalating rhetoric against Israel, emphasizing that the nation is digging its own grave as it faces mounting global animosity.
“The Zionist entity is one of the most hated regimes in the world,” Salami stated, highlighting that only U.S. officials are willing to visit Israel amidst its increasing isolation. He warned that Israel should brace itself for severe repercussions for its actions, claiming these would ultimately erase it from existence.
Salami referenced the “Operation True Promise 2” as evidence of Israel’s defensive failures, particularly its inability to protect itself against Iranian strikes. He specifically targeted the THAAD missile defense system, declaring that it would not suffice to shield Israel from Iran’s military capabilities.
He rallied support for Palestinian and Lebanese youth, asserting that they would soon be joined by young people from across the globe in their struggle against Israel. “We will defeat you,” he proclaimed, instilling confidence in Iran’s military readiness and resolve.
The Iranian military chief has consistently issued warnings regarding any attacks on Iranian soil, stating that Iran would retaliate with precision. As tensions escalate, media reports indicate that Israel may be preparing to strike Iranian targets in response to Tehran’s missile attacks, raising fears of a broader regional conflict.
With the stakes higher than ever, the possibility of further confrontation looms large, and both sides seem poised for an intense standoff that could reshape the dynamics of Middle Eastern geopolitics.
