Khamenei and the IRGC Reiterate: Response to Israel is 'Certain'

Ali Khamenei today, in remarks made on the anniversary of the attack by 'students following the line of Imam' on the US embassy in 1979, once again threatened the US and Israel with military retaliation and promised a 'crushing response' using the specific rhetoric of the Iranian government. Simultaneously, Ali Mohammad Naeini, spokesman for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), stated that the 'response to new aggression' from what he called the 'enemy' would be 'certain and decisive.' Hossein Maroufi, deputy coordinator of the Basij Organization, emphasized that 'unfinished work must be completed,' identifying the unfinished work as 'the destruction of Israel,' and stated that the people 'must firmly accompany' the missions. In this context, Mohammad Ismail Qotari, one of the IRGC commanders, announced that the Islamic Republic of Iran's missile operations against Israel are ready, with 'launchers and platforms charged' and prepared to respond to Israel. The Israeli army announced in the early hours of Saturday, November 5, that its 'precise and targeted' attacks on military objectives of the Islamic Republic in various regions of Iran had concluded, and Israeli aircraft successfully returned to their bases. These attacks were in response to the firing of over 180 ballistic missiles from Iran to Israel on September 30. The Islamic Republic had also launched 320 projectiles, including suicide drones and ballistic and cruise missiles, at Israel on April 14. The US Department of Defense, the Pentagon, stated this week that the US is preparing for a possible renewed attack by the Islamic Republic on Israel. The US has warned the Islamic Republic of Iran about the consequences of its attacks or its proxies against Israel and American personnel. Yesterday, the Pentagon announced that to ensure the safety of American citizens and forces in the Middle East and to support Israel, the US Secretary of Defense ordered the deployment of destroyers equipped with missile defense systems, fighter squadrons, refueling aircraft, and long-range B-52 bombers to the region. B-52 bombers, capable of carrying nuclear weapons, have been repeatedly deployed to the Middle East as a warning to the Islamic Republic. This is the second time this month that these strategic bombers have been sent to the region to bolster defensive capabilities. These forces will be stationed in the coming months alongside the departure of the aircraft carrier 'Abraham Lincoln.' Anti-aircraft systems fired after the Israeli attack were only for show; part of the final page of the plan. The possibility of a third attack by the Islamic Republic on Israel; this time perhaps from Iraq and with the help of proxies. The deployment of strategic bombers by the US; a new warning from Washington to Tehran. A review of the Israeli attack in four points, several layers, and several acts.
