Tehran – Tensions escalated sharply in the Middle East as Iran’s new Army Chief, Major General Mousavi, issued a strong warning to Israel and confirmed fresh ballistic missile strikes targeting Israeli cities.
In his first public statement since taking office, Major General Mousavi declared that the previous actions were merely warnings and that real attacks are now beginning. His video message was released by Iran’s state-run Fars News Agency, where he urged Israeli citizens to evacuate major cities like Tel Aviv and Haifa immediately to save their lives.
“The entire nation is united for strong retaliation against the enemy,” said Mousavi. “We will go to any extent to protect our homeland.”
He further vowed that Iran would avenge every drop of blood shed by its martyrs and made it clear that the country intends to hold the “Zionist regime” fully accountable.
This is the first time Major General Mousavi has appeared publicly since taking command of Iran’s armed forces. His statement reflects Iran’s growing readiness for confrontation, especially following reports of new ballistic missiles launched toward Israeli targets.
As regional tensions continue to rise, the international community watches closely for any signs of further escalation or potential diplomatic intervention.
