Iran’s President Ebrahim Raeisi has issued a stern warning against any Israeli aggression on the Iranian soil, saying the occupying regime will face a devastating response in case of another mistake.
Raeisi raised the alarm in a meeting with Pakistan’s cultural and academic elites in the Government College University (GCU) of Lahore in the central province of Punjab on Tuesday.
He pointed to Iran’s retaliatory strikes on the Israeli-occupied territories on April 13 in response to the regime’s earlier aggression on its diplomatic compound in Syria.
Stressing that Iran had punished Israel for its attack on the Islamic Republic’s consulate building in Damascus, which was against all international laws, conventions and the United Nations Charter, Raeisi said, “If the Zionist regime commits another mistake and launches an aggression on Iran’s soil, the situation will be different and it is not clear what will remain of this regime.”
In the multi-pronged Operation True Promise, Iran launched late on April 13 hundreds of drones and missiles at the occupied territories in response to the regime's aggression on the consular section of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Embassy in the Mezzeh neighborhood of the Syrian capital on April 1.
The Israeli airstrikes on Iran’s embassy compound in Damascus had killed two generals of the Quds Force of IRGC, Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Zahedi and General Mohammad Hadi Haji Rahimi, as well as five of their accompanying officers......more below
