Acting commander Gen. Hossein Salami claims Israel’s ‘defense mechanism is not planned for big & long wars’
Asserts that Israel’s ‘threats are only psychological.’
Israel will “definitely” face fierce retaliation if it attacks Iranian nuclear sites, the acting commander of Iran’s powerful Revolutionary Guard warned Thursday.
The remarks by Gen. Hossein Salami appear to be part of Iranian efforts to portray any strike against it as the trigger for a regional conflict that could draw in Iranian proxies, such as Lebanon’s militant Hezbollah group, on Israel’s borders.
