During a press conference in Zanjan on Saturday, Islamic Revolution Guards (IRGC) spokesperson Ramezan Sharif said that "Israel" is faced with the worst security conditions throughout the occupied Palestinian territory and that it is incapable to face up to Iran and thus resorts to psychological warfare through saber-rattling.

Sharif referred to the security issues that have plagued "Israel" since March while they falsely, according to the IRGC spokesperson, claimed that security reigns over the 27,000 square kilometers of the territory they control.

Sharif added that “The Israelis are extremely vulnerable and live in fear all the time. They repeat saying that they have the Iron Dome (air defense system) or cyber (defense systems), which reveals their weakness."

Sharif also slammed the Israeli argument that the armies of Arab nations cannot defeat the IOF, saying that everyone had seen how "Israel" was defeated by Hezbollah in the 33-Day War.

The general went on to add that Israeli measures will have no effect on Tehran since "Israel" is unable to tackle Iran.

Ebrahim Raisi, the president of Iran, warned the country's adversaries in remarks made in December 2021 that any belligerent action would be met by an Iranian military reaction so forceful that it would fundamentally alter the strategic balance.

Furthermore, Major General Mohammad Hossein Baqeri, the chief of staff of the Iranian armed forces, stated in April of this year that all Iranian military forces are prepared to respond to any threat at any level with a decisive and crushing response so that Iran's adversaries would regret taking hostile action against the Iranian establishment.
