New IRGC Chief: Iran to Soon Open Gates of Hell to Israel
New Chief Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) vowed that Iran would would take the Zionist regime to the gates of hell over the latter’s deadly onslaught against Tehran which led to martyrdom of senior military commanders and several civilians.
“Soon, the gates of hell will be opened upon this child-killing regime,” Major General Mohammad Pakpour wrote in a letter addressed to Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei following the assault.“The crime that the terrorist Zionist regime committed today in its aggression against the national security and territorial integrity of the Islamic Republic will certainly not go unanswered,” he added.
The letter came after the string of raids that featured targeted killing strikes led to the martyrdom of former IRGC Chief Major General Hossein Salami, Commander of the IRGC Aerospace Division Brigadier General Amir Ali Hajizadeh, Chief of staff of Iran's Armed Forces Major General Mohammad Baqeri, and Commander of the Islamic Republic’s Khatam Al-Anbiya Central Headquarters Major General Gholam-Ali Rashid, as well as several civilians.
In the letter, Pakpour said the IRGC, in line with Ayatollah Khameni’s pledge and under the Supreme Leader’s “wise and powerful” direction, would, therefore, “bring the criminal and illegitimate Zionist regime to a bitter and painful fate with massive and destructive consequences". The reprisal, he added, would serve “to take retribution for the blood of commanders, scientists, and the people, who were soaked in their own blood” during the strikes.
