Iranian General to “Israel”: You’ll See Resistance’s Upper Hand

By Staff, Agencies

A senior spokesman for the Iranian General Staff warned the “Israeli” entity that if it keeps lying about bombarding and killing Iran’s military advisors in Syria, it will see the upper hand of the Islamic Republic and the resistance front in action.

In comments on Thursday, Brigadier General Abolfazl Shekarchi responded to fake reports by the “Israeli” entity about targeting the positions of Iran’s military advisors in Syria, saying, “We warn the Zionist liars and their puppeteers that if they continue their mischief, they will see the upper hand of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the resistance front in action.”

He rejected “Israel's” claims alleging killing of hundreds or thousands of Iranians by its military as a “desperate media war, psychological operation, and [an attempt at] manufacturing lies.”

In parallel, the Iranian commander noted that "the Zionist-Western media empire and its regional affiliates" have been leading this anti-Iran propaganda campaign for some time as part of “hollow muscle-flexing” by the inhumane and occupying “Israeli” regime in order to project a “false image” of its military capability.

“The ‘cowardly’ regime also did its best, through the all-out support of the US and some regional Arab countries, to make up for its losses and weaknesses by bombarding the T-4 Airbase in Syria's western province of Homs in 2018, in which only seven of Iranian military advisors lost their lives along with a number of Syria-allied fighters,” Shekarchi said.

The resistance front, however, returned the attack by launching 50 missiles and rockets at Syria’s “Israel”-occupied Golan Heights, the spokesman noted, saying “a large number” of “Israelis” were killed or injured during the retaliation.
