Press TV \u2013 May 16, 2024<\/strong><\/h1>\n

A senior Iranian commander sounds a note of warning addressed to the UK, Germany, and France after the trio deployed their warplanes to defend the Israeli regime against a retaliatory operation staged by Iran last month.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Brigadier General Esmail Qa\u2019ani, commander of the Quds Force of Iran\u2019s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), made the remarks on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cAll criminals should know [this] that their measures and crimes have been chalked up to their accounts,\u201d Qa\u2019ani said.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrance, Germany, and the UK should not think that they deployed the planes that night and that the issue was over. Yes, that night was over, but they will be held accountable in due course,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The commander was addressing a ceremony held to mark 40 days since the martyrdom of the IRGC\u2019s General Mohammad Hadi Haji Rahimi.<\/p>\n

Haji Rahim, Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Zahedi, an IRGC Quds Force commander, and five of their accompanying officers were all martyred on April 1 in an Israeli terrorist attack against Iran\u2019s diplomatic premises in the Syrian capital Damascus.<\/p>\n

In retaliation, the IRGC targeted the occupied territories late on April 13 with a barrage of drones and missiles. The retaliatory strikes, dubbed Operation True Promise, inflicted heavy damage on Israeli military bases across those territories.<\/p>\n

According to Qa\u2019ani, the United States and the entire Western military alliance of NATO contributed all of their military capabilities towards defending the occupying regime against the Iranian operation.<\/p>\n

\u201c[Up to] seven to eight naval groups were deployed to the Black Sea to prevent the [Iranian] operation,\u201d he said, adding that more than 200 aircraft were also scrambled across the region\u2019s skies during the night of the operation.<\/p>\n

The commander described the aerial expanse, where the operation was conducted, as \u201cthe most condensed spot in the world as far as [the issue of] air defense is concerned,\u201d billing the operation as \u201cunprecedented and historically unachievable.\u201d<\/p>\n

Qa\u2019ani reminded that the Islamic Republic had previously informed various concerned parties about the pending operation.<\/p>\n

\u201cTrue Promise was an overt operation\u2026 The time of the operation was [already] clear as daylight to the Zionist regime and the United States,\u201d he said, noting that the Islamic Republic \u201cdisplayed its strength, steadfastness, and power to the whole world\u201d during the operation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe [Operation] True Promise\u2019s victory is not [simply] limited to the number of missiles and drones that reached the occupied territories,\u201d the commander stated. \u201cThere are so many secrets within this operation that would take one a long time to analyze,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Qa\u2019ani hailed the role that was played by Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei in the operation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWho in the world dares to take such a decision?\u201d he asked, reminding that even the United States — Israel’s biggest ally — had announced following the Israeli terrorist attack that it would not enter the fray.<\/p>\n

The commander, meanwhile, advised regional and extra-regional countries to learn from the US\u2019s inability to protect the Israeli regime during the Iranian operation, calling on them not to take much comfort in relying on Washington.<\/p>\n
