Israel understands nothing but logic of force: IRGC chief
The Commander in Chief of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has described Israel as a regime which understands nothing but the language of force.
Salami said on Sunday that Iran’s mid-April military operation against Israel was necessary to punish a violent and insane regime that has created instability and chaos in the region.
Speaking in a ceremony in Tehran, Salami was making a reference to Iran’s missile and drone attacks against Israel on April 14 which was carried out in response to the regime’s airstrike earlier that month against Iranian consulate in Syria’s Damascus.
The general insisted, however, that the IRGC considers Operation True Promise as a limited military act against a regime which has been used by the United States as a tool to implement its policies in the Muslim world.
“The aim of this operation was to hit two locations using a few number of drones and missiles to punish a violent and insane regime which understands nothing but the logic of power,” Salami said.
“The Zionist regime is a mischievous and violent creature and a source of insecurity which has created nothing but displacement, war, elimination of human values and emotions. We had to target this point,” he added.
The IRGC’s Operation True Promise came in the midst of Israel’s brutal war on Gaza where the regime has killed nearly 35,500 people in more than eight months of aggression on the Palestinian territory.
