‘Beyond eye for eye’: IRGC urges evacuation of US, Israeli-linked sites after steel plant strike

A senior commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has issued a stark warning that Tehran's retaliation will be beyond a simple proportional response, urging workers at industrial sites linked to the US and the Israeli regime to evacuate immediately to save their lives. 

The warning follows separate aerial attacks launched by the United States and the Israeli regime on Friday, which targeted industrial areas in several Iranian cities. Two major Iranian steel companies were hit in the strikes.

Brigadier General Seyyed Majid Mousavi, commander of the IRGC Aerospace Force, delivered the stern message, emphasizing that the aggressors have once again crossed a dangerous line.

"You tested us once before; the world saw again that you yourselves started playing with fire and attacking infrastructure," Mousavi said. 

Promising a severe response, he added: "This time, the equation will no longer be an eye for an eye; just wait!"

In a direct and urgent advisory, the aerospace commander warned, "Employees of industrial companies linked to the Americans and the Zionist regime must immediately leave their workplaces so their lives are not endangered!"

Separately, the public relations of the IRGC issued a statement, warning "all employees of industrial companies in the region with American shareholders, as well as heavy industries allied with the Zionist regime in the region, to immediately leave their workplaces so their lives are not put at risk."

Residents living within a 1-kilometer radius of such industries must evacuate their residences until the attack takes place, the statement added. 

The warnings come on the heels of Friday's unprovoked strikes on Isfahan’s Mobarakeh Steel Company and the Khouzestan Steel Company, located in central and southwestern Iran, respectively. 

At the Mobarakeh facility in Isfahan province—Iran’s largest producer of steel and iron—the attack struck parts of the electricity plant while employees were actively working on site. 

Meanwhile, the Khouzestan Steel Company, another critical industrial hub, also sustained facility damage from a joint US-Israeli aerial strike. 

Valiollah Hayati, deputy governor general of Khuzestan, reported that 16 individuals suffered minor injuries in the bombing. All victims were treated at a local medical center and have since been discharged.

Furthermore, the US-Israeli coalition launched attacks against civilian nuclear plants in Yazd and Arak. 

The IRGC warning comes as earlier this month, Iran targeted a US-linked gas field in Qatar in response to an earlier US-Israeli strike against South Pars Gas Field in Bushehr. 

IRGC sets fire to US-linked oil facilities in 63rd wave of Op. True Promise 4

The IRGC announces staging the 63rd wave of its ongoing retaliatory Operation True Promise 4 in the face of unprovoked American-Israeli aggression.

These recent bombings are the continuation of a large-scale aggression launched by the US and Israel against the Islamic Republic. 

The aggression follows the February 28 assassination of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, along with several senior military commanders and civilians.

US-Israeli extensive aerial strikes have targeted both military and civilian locations across Iran, causing significant casualties and widespread destruction to the nation's infrastructure.

Iranian armed forces have in response targeted US and Israeli asstests across the region in 84 wave of strikes as part of Operation True Promise 4.
