Tehran: Chairman of the Chiefs of Staff of Iran’s Armed Forces Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi announced that the operations conducted since Friday have primarily served as a deterrent warning, and the forthcoming phase will involve actual punitive operations.

According to Islamic Republic News Agency, Major General Mousavi emphasized that the previous actions were merely a precursor to more severe operations. He condemned the ongoing violations of international laws, particularly the killing of around 300 journalists in Gaza and Lebanon. The general accused the regime of a brutal attack on the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) headquarters in Tehran on Monday, aiming to suppress the voice of truth.

The general issued a stark warning to the residents of occupied territories, specifically Tel Aviv and Haifa, advising them to evacuate to avoid becoming casualties of what he referred to as Netanyahu’s animalistic ambitions. He assured that the freedom-seeking people worldwide could be confident in Iran’s commitment, led by its armed forces, to avenge the blood of the martyrs.
