The commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) issued a warning to Israel, cautioning against overconfidence in the anti-missile defense system sent by the United States. IRGC Maj. Gen. Hossein Salami argued that THAAD is a limited defense and that Israel’s reliance on it would not secure victory against potential reprisal attacks from the resistance front.
Salami stated, 'Do not trust THAAD’s pipes; these are limited. Shoot as much as you wish, your enemies will shoot many times more than you. You cannot win in this, and we will defeat you.' The comments come after the deployment of the US missile defense system to Israel along with scores of US military personnel to operate it.
