Maj-Gen Ali Abdollahi, chief of staff of Iran's armed forces, warns that any location that becomes a centre of threats to the Islamic Republic will be a direct target of 'asymmetric operations'.
Iran International reports that he made the warning on Wednesday 11 November in a message to IRGC Aerospace Force commander Majid Mousavi. In it he warned the US and Israel of more lethal strikes.
"The previous blows were only the beginning"
Abdollahi, who also commands the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, described the threat as reflecting existing capabilities, according to Iran International.
This is his second warning in two days. In footage released on 10 November of his tour of what the IRGC calls an underground 'missile city', he said Iran's response to any new move against it "will extend beyond the region".
The message is a warning, not an action. Iran International is so far the only outlet to report it, and its account has not been independently checked.
