Iran’s armed forces are ready to prevent any attack by Israel with the help of air force and navy. Iran’s president and top military officials said this on Wednesday. The Iranian armed forces have said they are ready to take any action. This information is known from the report of Arab News, the media of Saudi Arabia.
On April 1, an airstrike took place at the Iranian consulate in Damascus, the capital of Syria. A total of 11 people including two top generals of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Al-Quds Force were killed. Although Israel has not officially claimed responsibility for the attack, Iran has been blaming Israel for it.
In response, Iran launched several drone and missile attacks on Israel last Saturday. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said on Saturday night that Iran launched drones and missiles at Israel. Iran claimed to have destroyed an Israeli intelligence center and an air base in that attack.
In response, Israel is threatening to attack Iran. The country’s military-civilian leadership has repeatedly issued threats against Iran. The country said it had finalized plans to attack Iran. However, Israel’s War Cabinet will make the final decision on whether and when to attack Iran. The Cabinet meeting is scheduled to be held on Wednesday.
Iran’s President Ibrahim Raisi said in a parade organized on the occasion of Iran’s Armed Forces Day on Wednesday, “Any attack by the Zionist regime (Israel) on our soil will be met with a strong response.”
At the same event, Brigadier General Amir Vahedi, the head of the Iranian Air Force, warned that Iranian warplanes, including the Russian-made Sukhoi-24, are at their highest readiness to counter any Israeli attack. He said, “We have full preparedness in all areas including our air coverage and bombers and we are ready for any operation.”
Admiral Shahram Irani, Commander of the Iranian Navy, said that the Iranian Navy is guarding Iranian commercial ships in the Red Sea. He said, “The Navy is conducting a mission to escort Iranian commercial ships in the Red Sea and our Jamaran frigate is present in the Gulf of Aden.” At the time, he said, Tehran is also ready to escort ships of other countries.
