Following the massive Iranian drone attack on Israel on Tuesday night, Iran is threatening further attacks if arch-enemy Israel retaliates.
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards are threatening to carry out a “crushing attack” on Israel if the archenemy were to avenge Tuesday night’s attack.
“If the Zionist regime reacts to the Iranian operation, they will be met with a crushing attack,” the Revolutionary Guards said in a statement carried by the Revolutionary Guards-controlled Fars news agency.
According to the Revolutionary Guards, the attack was carried out in accordance with the UN Charter and was carried out after “a period of restraint” following “an attack on Iran’s sovereignty”, referring to the killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran in July.
