IRGC issues statement after missile attack on Israel

Much-anticipated Iranian retaliation against Israel has begun as ballistic missiles were fired at the occupied Palestinian lands (Israeli regime) on Tuesday evening.

In response to the martyrdom of martyr Ismail Haniyeh, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, and martyr Nilforooshan, we targeted the heart of occupied lands, the statement reads.

The IRGC further said that the attack was in line with the country’s right to legitimate self-defense as per the United Nations Charter, and in response to the regime's escalating crimes—backed by the United States—against the people of Lebanon and Gaza.

The IRGC warned that if the Zionist regime reacts to Iran's operations, it will face crushing attacks.
