Lieutenant Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Brigadier General Hossein Salami disclosed that the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance group is in possession of over tens of thousands of missiles, which are all ready to launch and hit Israeli targets.
“Today 100,000 missiles in Lebanon are ready to be fired at occupied territories,” General Salami said in his pre-sermon speech at Tehran’s Friday prayers.
The Iranian commander underlined that the US support for Israel shows that this regime is not only an ally of Washington, but one of very close states for damaging Muslims.
“The Zionist regime is the joint product of the strategic policies of the US and Britain in the Muslim world, that are aimed at keeping the Muslim World backward, depressed, buried in history and dependent on the US policies,” he added.
Millions of Iranians took to the streets in all Iranian cities across the country on the International Quds Day on Friday to voice support for the Palestinian nation against the Israeli regime.
