Alwaght- The Israeli enemy has launched the strikes against Iran with the help of America and attacked civilian areas, a senior Iranian commander has said.
Brigadier General Abolfazl Shekarchi, the spokesman for the Iranian Armed Forces, said on Friday morning that Israel will pay a heavy price and should expect strong action from the Iranian armed forces.
Iran has placed itself on 100 percent military readiness and the enemy will receive a strong slap, he stated.
The General Staff of the Armed Forces issued a statement following the Zionist regime’s attack on the country and condemned the “blatant aggression” by the Zionist regime.
“The Zionist regime's aggressive and adventurous action on Friday morning, June 13, in attacking parts of the country, including civilian and military areas, resulted in the martyrdom and injury of a group of dear compatriots, including women and children, and a number of commanders of the armed forces,” the statement read.
The Communications Center of the General Staff of the Armed Forces condemned this blatant aggression by the Zionist enemy and said “it is contrary to all international standards.”
The General Staff of the Armed Forces also assured the honorable and brave people of Islamic Iran that based on the order of the Supreme
Commander of the Armed Forces, the response of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the commanders, perpetrators and supporters of this act will be “devastating, crushing and regrettable.”
The Israeli attacks were first reported around 3:00 a.m. local time on Friday in the capital, Tehran, followed by a series of explosions in several other provinces across the country.
Videos circulating on social media show widespread destruction in residential areas of Tehran and other regions, the result of what has been described as indiscriminate Israeli aggression.
The Israeli regime confirmed responsibility for the attacks, claiming to have targeted sites in Natanz, Khorramabad, Khondab, and several other locations.
Several senior Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) commanders and nuclear scientists are also reported to be among the martyrs in the large-scale Israeli strikes targeting Tehran and multiple provinces across the country.
