Iran’s top general vows ‘calculated’ response to Israel’s assassination of Hamas leader
The chief of staff of Iran’s armed forces has reiterated the country’s intention to give a "calculated" response to the Israeli assassination of late Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh.
Major General Mohammad Baqeri made the remarks on Wednesday in reference to the much-anticipated retaliation for the Israeli assassination of Haniyeh, which occurred in Tehran in late July.
Iran and resistance factions in region have vowed to respond to the Israeli attacks after the failure of the UN Security Council to take any action to punish the regime.
General Baqeri said the Israeli regime is now in a precarious situation and is ready to commit any act of atrocity following the October 7 attacks by the Hamas resistance movement, as it sees itself on the verge of collapse.
“Today we witness the crisis situation in the region following the Al-Aqsa storm and the Zionist regime is worried over its existence and is in dangerous conditions, so it won’t spare any criminal move to continue its shameful life.”
On the US role in the region, General Baqeri said the US power is certainly not comparable to five years ago, as the regime is on the decline and is struggling to restore its power.
In his remarks, the general also said Iran’s armed forces have a very crucial responsibility to boost military preparedness and they should not waste a second in improving rapid response capabilities, strengthening infrastructures, and increasing the quality of products.
