    Chief of Iran's IRGC Gen. Hossein Salami speaks in a ceremony marking the first anniversary of the death of late Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi, who was killed in a helicopter crash in the country's northwest along with the foreign minister and several other officials, in Tehran, Iran, Thursday, May 15, 2025 (AP)

It is not Iran’s nuclear facilities that will be destroyed, but the targets of the Israeli occupation entity, underlined Major General Hossein Salami, the Commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC).

In late May, US President Donald Trump confirmed that he had advised Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu against taking military action that could undermine diplomatic efforts.

But The New York Times reported that Netanyahu is actively threatening to derail the US-Iran nuclear talks by launching military strikes against Iran’s nuclear facilities.

In exclusive remarks to Al Mayadeen, Salami emphasized Iran’s unwavering determination to uphold the rights and independence of the Iranian people.

“The Israelis are well aware of our capabilities," the Iranian general pointed out, warning, "If we are attacked, everyone involved will regret it.”

Forthcoming Iranian response 'stronger and broader'

He warned that any forthcoming Iranian response would be “stronger and broader than those during the operations Promise of Truth I and II.”

“We are fully prepared to confront any scenario,” Salami underscored.

Last year, the Islamic Republic carried out Operation True Promise I and II, which were retaliation attacks against Israeli aggression, launching hundreds of ballistic missiles and drones and attacking vital Israeli military and intelligence targets with precision. 

Smallest Israeli move against Iran will get destroyed

Meanwhile, Iranian Defense Minister Aziz Nasirzadeh also spoke to Al Mayadeen, stressing that “Iran possesses the strength that renders Israel incapable of threatening it.”

Nasirzadeh threatened that "any malicious act by Israel against Iran will undoubtedly lead" to its destruction.

He dismissed Israeli threats as empty rhetoric, stating, “Those who truly possess the power to threaten Iran do not speak in such terms — they are incapable of doing so.”

The Iranian minister concluded with a clear warning, “Israel will be destroyed if it makes even the smallest move against Iran.”
