General Hossein Salami, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) Deputy Commander Brigadier said: ”Don’t trust your airbases. They’re within reach,” as part of the shocking warning given in Tehran
He added: “Wherever you are in the occupied land, you’ll be under fire from us, from east and west. You became arrogant. If there’s a war, the result will be your complete elimination.”
Local media stated the remarks were “in apparent reaction to Israel’s publication on Tuesday of a map showing five Tehran-controlled bases in Syria.”
Hossein Dalirian, a reporter at Iran’s Tasnim News Agency, tweeted that vice-commander Mr Salami had said Iran’s “hands are on the trigger and missiles are ready” and “will be launched at any moment that enemy has a sinister plot”.
On April 9, Israeli aircrafts fired at the T-4 air base in central Syria, which was confirmed at the time by Moscow, Damascus, Tehran and US officials.
On Wednesday, it was reported that the strike was discussed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Donald Trump before the strikes were ordered.
The strike allegedly targeted Iranian air-defence equipment and parts of Tehran’s drone program.
Although Mr Netanyahu’s government has refused to comment on the strike, it is believed a senior Israeli military official said “it was the first time we attacked live Iranian targets — both facilities and people”.
This follows on from Iran’s warning to the US that there would be “unpleasant” consequences if Donald Trump pulls out of the multilateral nuclear deal that was agreed in 2015.
Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif said: “Iran has many options if the United States leaves the nuclear deal.
“The response from Iran, and in fact from the international community, to the US move would be very unpleasant for Americans.”
