The newly appointed head of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), General Mohammad Pakpour, vowed on Friday to "open the gates of hell" in response to "Israel's" deadly strikes on Iranian soil.

According to a report by The Wall Street Journal on Friday, citing a senior Israeli official, "Israel" has developed a 14-day military operation targeting Iran’s nuclear facilities, missile arsenal, and military leadership. 

The operation is reportedly far from over, and its duration matches analysts’ predictions that a single wave of strikes would not be enough to significantly weaken Iran’s nuclear program, as "Israel’s" broader strategy involves simultaneous attacks on facilities, leadership, and missiles to restrict Tehran’s ability to retaliate. According to WSJ, "Israel" covertly brought explosive drones into Iran ahead of the strikes.

The Israeli Air Force carried out multiple waves of attacks across the country, including in Tehran, killing several nuclear scientists and high-ranking military officials, among them Chief of General Staff Maj. Gen. Mohammad Bagheri and senior IRGC commanders.

"With hope in the Almighty Lord ... soon the gates of hell will open before this child–killing regime,"  Pakpour declared in a message to Iran's Supreme Leader, as reported by Fars News Agency.

Iran holds emergency talks

The press service of Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian announced on Friday that the Iranian government has convened an emergency meeting in response to the Israeli strikes.

"During the meeting, the situation in the country was discussed; it was stated that all executive authorities were ready to provide basic needs [of the population], fuel, medicines, and other necessities, and necessary planning was carried out," the statement published on Friday said.

"Israel" launched several attacks on residential areas, and missile and nuclear facilities in Iran earlier today, killing 78 people and injuring 329 in Tehran alone.

Pezeshkian vowed on Friday that the Islamic Republic of Iran will deliver a powerful and legitimate response to "Israel's" regime's recent act of aggression on Iranian nuclear sites, warning that the enemy will deeply regret its actions.

In a televised address to the nation, Pezeshkian clarified that Iran would not remain silent in the face of "Israel's" criminal and internationally unlawful attack.

“The Iranian nation and the country's officials will not remain silent in the face of this crime, and the legitimate and powerful response from the Islamic Republic of Iran will make the enemy regret its foolish action,” he declared.
 
The Iranian president condemned the Israeli aggression as a blatant violation of international norms, describing it as yet another example of the Zionist regime’s criminal behavior.
