Iran’s army chief says US responsible for new Israeli aggression
Iran's Army Commander Major General Amir Hatami says the United States is responsible for the new Israeli aggression against Iran, warning that the country would escalate its retaliation if the enemy repeats its mischievous acts.
In a Monday message addressing the Iranian nation, Hatami said that the new round of Israeli aggression on Iran took place while Pakistani mediators were in Tehran as part of efforts to work out a deal to put an end to US-Israeli aggression against the country.
He said the aggression proved the enemy has no commitment whatsoever to the ceasefire announced in early April, nor to efforts aimed at ending the war of aggression.
The general appreciated the Iranian nation’s all-out support for its armed forces and their battle against the aggression, saying the daily street demonstrations that have taken place across Iran since the start of the war in late February have greatly boosted the morale of the Iranian armed forces.
"Your children and brothers, standing in solid defensive ranks, are ready to fight for the pride and independence of the proud Islamic Iran, to fight to the last drop of blood and sacrifice their lives," said Hatami in his message.
The message came after Iran carried out rounds of missile attacks late on Sunday on targets inside Israeli-occupied territories in response to the regime’s attacks on allied resistance forces based in the Lebanese capital, Beirut.
Iranian armed forces launched fresh attacks on Israeli positions early on Tuesday after the regime hit targets in Iran.
Hatami said Iran will consider the US an accomplice in Israeli attacks on the country and will seriously expand the scope of its reprisal if it comes under fresh attacks.
"We warn that the US bears responsibility for any aggression by the Zionist regime. If the enemy repeats its mischief, our actions will become even more severe," said the Iranian army chief.
