The enemy is in a state of suicide and is preparing itself for collapse, Major General Hossein Salami, the chief commander of Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), pointed out on Thursday.
Speaking at a conference to honor the martyrs of Kermanshah, Salami affirmed that the Israeli entity was digging its own grave, adding that it has been exposed as one of the most hateful regimes in the world, with no politician willingly wanting to visit the occupation other than those in the United States.
"The Zionist entity is waiting for the consequences of its actions, which will erase its existence off the face of the earth," he further underlined.
Regarding Operation True Promise II, Salami said that contrary to Israeli claims, Iran's missile launch proved the incompetence of the occupation's defense systems, further asserting that its recently deployed THAAD system will not be able to protect it either.
On Lebanon and Gaza's front, the IRGC commander said the Resistance fighters were steadfast against the Israeli regime, and soon enough, "men from all over the world will join them."
"We will defeat you ["Israel"]," he vowed.

Salami previously warned that any attack on Iran would result in severe retaliation on the same target within occupied Palestinian territory.
Speaking during the funeral of martyr Brigadier General Abbas Nilforoushan, the Deputy of Operations of the IRGC, Salami emphasized Iran's awareness of the Israeli occupation's vulnerabilities.
"We know the enemy's weak points, and they are fully aware of this," he said, adding, "If the enemy targets our land, we will strike back, and they know we carry out what we say."
Addressing the Israeli occupation, Salami warned, "You know how weak you are and how prone you are to incurring heavy losses." He also cautioned "Israel" against relying on its defense systems, saying, "Do not depend on your defense systems, as we can breach them."
Salami's remarks extended to the THAAD missile defense battery, which the Pentagon recently deployed to occupied Palestine along with 100 American troops to operate it. He criticized the system, calling it unreliable.
"Do not trust these systems. You cannot massacre Muslim nations and remain safe," Salami said.
Concluding his speech, the IRGC commander highlighted, "Our enemies are always defeated due to miscalculations."
