Iran’s IRGC threatens to drive Israelis into the Sinai Desert if its energy facilities are attacked.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has threatened to devastate Israel and force its population into Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula if Iranian energy infrastructure is targeted in a new military offensive, amid mounting tensions between Tehran, Jerusalem and Washington.
IRGC spokesman Brig. Gen. Hossein Mohebbi issued the warning Sunday, declaring that an attack on Iran’s energy facilities would result in Israeli territory becoming uninhabitable.
Such an attack would “turn the occupied territories into scorched earth forever and drive its usurpers into the Sinai Desert,” Mohebbi wrote on X, referring to Israel.
He asserted that Iranian scientists would quickly repair any damage inflicted on the country’s energy infrastructure, while threatening consequences far more severe for Israel.
“The world will see what happens,” he added.
The post was subsequently removed from X for violating the platform’s rules, according to reports.
Mohebbi’s warning followed reports that the US military had developed plans for possible strikes against Iranian nuclear and energy facilities, potentially involving the GBU-43/B Massive Ordnance Air Blast bomb, commonly known as the “Mother of All Bombs.”
Iran’s newly appointed defense minister, Mehrdad Akhlaghi Ketabchi, also threatened retaliation against American forces on Sunday, shortly after parliament confirmed his appointment by a vote of 237 to 15. (Read More)
