Iran’s IRGC Chief-Commander Hossein Salami asserts that only the eradication of Israel from the world’s political map can guarantee the security of Muslims and Palestinians.
Salami’s Saturday remarks come amidst escalating tensions in the Middle East as the war between Hamas and Israel continues.
“Enemies seek to impose their will upon us, expecting our people to act politically according to their desires… I tell them that in the future war, we will showcase the most glorious political saga as a strong fist,” Salami declared, emphasizing Iran’s commitment to supporting Palestinian militant groups.
Salami is known for his rhetoric against Israel and the United States, although the clerical regime in Tehran has avoided direct involvement in conflict.
The recent assault on Israel by Hamas, which resulted in the loss of more than 1,000 civilian lives, has further fueled Iran’s rhetoric against Israel. However, Iran’s threats have not outlined a clear detailed plan of action.
Iran-allied militias have already initiated attacks on US troops’ bases in Iraq and Syria, extending the conflict beyond Israeli borders. The Iranian regime openly signaled its support for Hamas, providing financial and arms support, with Iran’s ruler Ali Khamenei and President Ebrahim Raisi praising the recent onslaught.
Despite US preference for diplomatic dialogue, President Joe Biden’s stance on the conflict with Iran has faced criticism for its perceived leniency. Iran’s militias have retaliated against US facilities, resulting in multiple deaths, prompting Biden to authorize strikes on targets associated with Iran’s IRGC in Iraq and Syria and Yemen in response to recent provocations.
