Iran’s Revolutionary Guards has threatened to carry out “crushing attacks” against arch-foe Israel if it retaliates for a missile attack by the Islamic republic on Tuesday.
A statement shown to newsmen, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) says
“If the Zionist regime reacts to Iranian operations, it will face crushing attacks”
The IRGC said the attack was “in accordance with the United Nations Charter”.
It said it came “after a period of restraint” following an “attack on the sovereignty” of Iran — a reference to the killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran in late July.
Late Tuesday, state media reported that Iranian forces fired a barrage of missiles which targeted Israel’s commercial hub Tel Aviv.
