INA – Follow-up

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said on Wednesday it has begun a “decisive response” to recent attacks.

In a statement received by the Iraqi News Agency (INA), the IRGC said that in response to “Zionist arrogance” and an attack launched from the territory of the “occupying entity” on Iranian sovereignty, it would begin a phase of decisive retaliation and direct deterrence.

It added that the first waves of ballistic and cruise missiles, as well as drones, would be launched shortly to strike deep into central cities in (Israel), including the Gush Dan area, which it described as a vital economic and military hub.

The statement warned the zionist leaders against further action, saying any future escalation would be met with broader, more destructive operations targeting strategic facilities and military bases across the occupied territory.
