ALBAWABA - A top Iranian military spokesperson warned Sunday night that Israel may soon become “uninhabitable” and that its residents will no longer be protected by underground shelters as tensions between Iran and Israel escalate.
According to the spokesperson, Iran has a comprehensive and in-depth database of important Israeli targets, including military installations, intelligence hubs, offices for making decisions, and even the residences of top military officials and scientists. He cautioned citizens from serving as "human shields," stating that "Shelters will not keep Israelis safe."
The official stated in his statements that a number of sensitive locations on Israeli land have already been struck by Iran's recent strikes. Any additional Israeli assault, he stressed, would be faced with a "shocking" and "comprehensive" retaliation that would encompass all of what Iran views as occupied land.
Iran's Mehr News Agency reported the remarks as part of a larger statement that also included scathing criticism of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. His government is “corrupt, criminal, and failing,” according to the Iranian military, which also charged that he started the recent escalation for personal benefit, endangering Israeli lives in the process.
With a promise that retaliation would not be restricted in scope or location, the spokesperson declared, "Iran's armed forces will deliver a crushing and painful response to this child-killing regime."
The declarations come after multiple nights of cross-border assaults in which Iran claimed to have successfully struck vital Israeli infrastructure. Israel has continued its own airstrikes against Iranian assets and has refuted several of Iran's claims.
International observers are concerned about the escalating war because they believe the current military engagements could turn into a wider regional conflict.
