The head of Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards Maj. Gen. Hossein Salami warned that recent attacks on Israel are poised to happen again and could be “expanded.”
Al-Mayadeen, the chief commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) said that the “evil deeds” committed by Israel in the region in recent days could backfire and expose the country to “real dangers.”
Salami threatened that if Israel continued with its actions, the Islamic Republic is ready to respond in the same level or with stronger force as all “conditions for the collapse of Israel’s existence” existed.

The United States says boats from Iran s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) harassed two U.S. Coast Guard ships in the Persian Gulf early this month, in what the U.S. Navy described as the first such incident in a year.

Boris Johnson has been accused of a âdismal failureâ in his diplomatic efforts after Iran sentenced Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe to a further year in jail on top of the five-year sentence she has already served.
Labourâs Tulip Siddiq, the British-Iranian dual nationalâs MP, questioned the effort the prime minister had put into releasing Zaghari-Ratcliffe, telling the Commons: âFrom where Iâm standing, Iâve seen no evidence on the part of the prime minister so far.
âAt the heart of this tragic case is the prime ministerâs dismal failure to release my constituent and to stand up for her, and his devastating blunder in 2017 when he was foreign secretary â when he exposed his complete ignorance of this tragic case and put more harm in Nazaninâs way.
