Iran is set to “harshly punish” Israel for allegedly eliminating Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran, a senior commander of the Iranian Islamic Guard (IRGC) warns.

IRGC deputy chief Ali Fadavi declared that Iran preparing to attack Israel following the orders given by regime’s “Supreme Leader” Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Reuters reported Saturday.

In a recent sermon, Khamenei vowed that Israel will face “harsh punishment” for the killing of “our dear guest in our house,” referring to Haniyeh, Hamas chief and key mastermind of the October 7 massacre.

Reuters reported the latest Iranian threat:

Iran is set to carry out an order by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei to “harshly punish” Israel over the elimination of , a Revolutionary Guards deputy commander said on Friday, according to Reuters.

“The Supreme Leader’s orders regarding the harsh punishment of Israel and revenge for the blood of martyr Ismail Haniyeh are clear and explicit …and they will be implemented in the best possible way,” said Ali Fadavi, cited by Iranian media.


The IRGC is the military and foreign terrorist arm of the Iranian regime and has been behind repeated cross-border attacks on Israel by Lebanese Hezbollah and Yemen-based Houthis in the wake of October 7 attack. An impending ;arge-scale attack on Israel — as widely expected, will most likely be carried out or directed by the IRGC.

Amid warnings of an imminent attack from Iran and its proxies, the Israeli armed forces are gearing up to fight on multiple fronts.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu last week warned Iran and its terror proxies that they would pay a ‘heavy price’ for daring to attack Israel. “We are prepared for any scenario – both offensively and defensively,” the Israeli prime minister said. “We will respond and we will exact a heavy price for any act of aggression against us, from whatever quarter.”
