In a recent speech at the National Congress honoring martyrs from Kermanshah province, IRGC commander Salami issued a warning to Israel regarding the deployment of THAAD missiles. He cautioned that these systems are limited in capacity and advised Israel not to place its trust in them. Salami also threatened a disproportionate response if Israel escalates the situation, stating that for every missile fired, their enemies would respond with many more.
Strategic Warnings to Israel
Furthermore, Salami highlighted Israel’s economic vulnerability due to its heavy reliance on maritime trade. He warned that unwise decisions could accelerate the regime’s collapse and urged Israel to consider the consequences of its strategic miscalculations.
Criticism of U.S. Support
Salami also criticized the United States for its unwavering support of Israel, condemning Washington for tying its political reputation to Israel’s “criminal actions.” He emphasized that the U.S. risks isolation and loss of its superpower status by aligning with such actions that are condemned by the world.
Overall, Salami’s warnings to Israel and criticism of U.S. support underscore the complex geopolitical tensions in the region and the risks associated with military escalation.
