Raeisi Warns: Iran Will Retaliate with Force if Israel Takes Action
Ebrahim Raeisi, President of Iran, has issued a stern warning to the apartheid government of Israel, cautioning them against taking any action against the Islamic Republic. He stated that Iran would respond with "the destruction of Haifa and Tel Aviv" if provoked.
At a parade to commemorate National Army Day on Tuesday in Tehran, Iran’s Defense Minister Brigadier General Amir Hatami said the Iranian Army’s strength is derived from its own knowledge and expertise. Brigadier General Amir Hatami Raeisi made the remarks.
He warned that the enemies, specifically the Zionist regime (Israel), should be aware that any action taken against the country will draw a fierce reaction from the armed forces, with the potential to bring about the destruction of Haifa and Tel Aviv.
The Iranian Army and Armed Forces conveyed the message to the US troops that they must depart the area promptly.
The Iranian president declared that, for their own benefit and the benefit of the region, the non-local and American forces should exit the area promptly.
He stated that, although foreign forces pose a danger to regional security, our own armed forces guarantee safety in the areas where they are deployed.
He remarked that the Iranian Armed Forces have been successful in thwarting terrorists and bolstering security in the area, whereas foreign forces are only a menace to the countries in the region.
He highlighted the strength of the Iranian Armed Forces, stating that “it is no secret to anyone that our armed forces have protected the territorial integrity and security of the countries in the region,” noting that such power is beneficial to the security of the region.
He reiterated that the presence of foreign troops, especially American forces, would not ensure the safety and security of the Persian Gulf region.
He stated that the Iranian army, known for its courage and valor, has been outshining the armies of other regional countries in the fields of science and technology; a fact that is recognized by all.
The Iranian chief executive declared that the country’s armed forces have transformed into an impenetrable stronghold against anti-revolutionary forces, Takfiri organizations, and criminals, further noting that it is responsible for sustaining Iran’s boundaries and safeguarding national interests and security in the seas.
Raeisi, the head of the Supreme National Security Council (SNSC), highlighted that the National Army Day conveys a message of peace and amicability to neighboring countries.
The speaker commented that Iran has one of the safest skies in the area, and went on to say, “The Iranian Armed Forces are able to use any potential threat to the country to create opportunities for it.”
The Iranian chief executive affirmed his commitment to supplying the Army with the most advanced technologies.
On April 18 each year, the National Army Day is celebrated to commemorate the establishment of the Islamic Revolutionary Army by Ayatollah Khomeini, founder and first Leader of the Islamic Revolution, in 1979.
Approximately two months following the abdication of the deposed Shah, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, Ayatollah Khomeini gathered with the members of the Armed Forces who had played a key role in the triumph of the Revolution. A few days later, Ayatollah Khomeini declared April 18 as “the Army Day,” organizing military processions to showcase the military prowess of the nation.
