Israel will soon taste Iran’s revenge: IRGC commander

The Commander-in-Chief of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) says the Palestinian people will soon taste sweet victory, and Israel and its allies will soon taste revenge for their wickedness.

“Today we see the resistance of the people in Gaza; it appears painful, but it will become the secret of the Palestinians' endurance. They will soon taste sweet victory and they [Israelis] will soon taste the revenge for their wickedness,” Major General Hossein Salami told a conference on Wednesday.

He said today Iran is a “strong, secure, and proud country” that speaks to the oppressors with the language of power, not words.

“We will pursue and punish all enemies and take revenge; pursuing and punishing enemies and taking revenge is a reality we have tested many times over the past 45 years.”

Israel ‘absolute evil’, much closer to defeat than victory: Iran

Iran says the continuation of Israel’s crimes shows that the regime is closer to defeat than victory.

"Whenever Islam shone and grew, the infidels, polytheists, and hypocrites stood against it, and the field of jihad was formed. Today is no different,” he said.

“Iran and the Islamic Ummah will remain, and the enemies of Islam will leave the Islamic lands in disgrace, just as it happened in Iran, Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen, and other places."

The general made the remarks amid anticipation of Iranian retaliation in the wake of the Israeli assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran in late July. Iran has vowed to take revenge but at a time and manner of its choosing.
