Tehran, YJC. The second-in-command of the IRGC says the Israeli regime is "too small" to be considered a threat by Iran.
A senior commander of the IRGC, Brigadier General Hossein
Salami, stated Friday that the Islamic Iran is preparing to militarily defend
itself against world powers but Israel is not enough a threat to merit such
preparations.
He said Israel’s actions can affect the Islamic Republic’s
response to the killing of an IRGC general by the Israeli regime during its
latest airstrike on the Syrian section of Golan Heights.
Salami also referred to the resistance movement’s
retaliatory attack on an Israeli convoy in the West Bank on Wednesday and said
Hezbollah’s rapid reaction revealed its strong political will and firm
determination to react to any operation against it.
"Special operations require complicated plans and a long
time and when a retaliatory operation is conducted at such a speed, it shows the
great power of the forces,” Salami added.
In an attack on an Israeli convoy in northern occupied
territories on Wednesday as retaliation, Hezbollah killed 2 Israeli soldiers
and destroyed at least 9 military vehicles.
Following that attack, Hezbollah stated that the move was
carried out as a revenge for a recent Israeli strike that left several top
members of Hezbollah dead
