IRGC chief: Anti-Israel operations expose regime’s vulnerability
Major General Hossein Salami made the remarks in a ceremony in the capital Tehran in commemoration of the IRGC advisors assassinated in an Israeli attack against the Iranian consulate in Syria on April 1.
He described the large-scale and surprise Operation Al-Aqsa Storm launched by Palestinian resistance groups on October 7 as proof of the complete failure of the Israeli intelligence service.
Salami highlighted that the extensive missile and drone strikes that the IRGC launched in the early hours of April 14 on the Israeli-occupied territories, dubbed Operation True Promise, dealt a severe blow to Israel and showed the incapability of the anti-missile systems that the United States, Britain, France and even some Arab states have deployed in the West Asia region.
Operation True Promise inflicted damage on Israeli military bases across the occupied lands.
The retaliatory strikes came after the Israeli attack on April 1 against the Iranian consulate in Damascus, which killed seven members of the IRGC, including two senior commanders.
The IRGC chief commander further noted that enemies are nearing their end, stressing that Operation Al-Aqsa Storm pushed Israel to the verge of “brain death,” exposed its vulnerability and demonstrated the fact that the Tel Aviv regime is so shaky.
“The most abhorrent regimes on earth are Israel and the US which supports it. Through US military and political support and on the West artificial respiration, it (Israel) has been able to extend its existence which is coming to an end,” Salami pointed out.
