Ex-IRGC intelligence chief warns Israel of harsher response to any new attack

Iran is fully prepared to respond to any renewed Israeli aggression with a far stronger blow than before, former head of the IRGC Intelligence Organization Hossein Taeb said on Saturday.

“If the Zionist regime dares to repeat its aggression, it will receive a crushing response that will remain in the enemy’s memory for decades,” Taeb said, speaking to ISNA during the funeral for those killed in Israeli attacks.

He said Israel was compelled to request a ceasefire through a neighboring country, which he described as further proof of "its strategic failure".

“The Iranian armed forces are on full alert,” Taeb said. “Every possible scenario has been anticipated and planned for.”
