Iran’s Revolutionary Guard vows to expand attacks on Israel after US strikes
IRGC spokesman says US strikes aimed at ‘reviving the dying Zionist regime’
ISTANBUL
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) vowed Monday to expand its attacks against Israel, a day after US strikes on three Iranian nuclear sites.
“The criminal United States, in its continued full-scale support for the Zionist regime’s aggression, blatantly violated the sovereignty of the Islamic Republic of Iran last night, directly entered into war with Iran, and trespassing upon Iran’s sacred soil,” Ebrahim Zolfaqari, a spokesman of the Khatam al-Anbiya headquarters, the IRGC's construction wing, said in a video statement.
He said the US strikes on Iranian sites were carried out “with the aim of reviving the dying Zionist regime.”
The Iranian spokesman vowed to respond to the US attack with "powerful and targeted operations" with "unpredictable consequences.”
US President Donald Trump said early Sunday that his forces bombed three Iranian nuclear sites in Fordo, Natanz, and Isfahan.
The attacks came as the latest escalation in a US-backed Israeli military assault on Iran since June 13, prompting Tehran to launch retaliatory attacks on Israel.
Israeli authorities said at least 25 people have been killed and hundreds injured since then in Iranian missile attacks.
Meanwhile, in Iran, 430 people have been killed and more than 3,500 wounded in the Israeli assault, according to the Iranian Health Ministry.
