‘There is no end to this war’: Commander says Iran firmly determined to punish US, Israel

An Iranian military commander says the United States and Israel can no longer start a war whenever they wish and end it at any time, asserting that “there is no end to this war.”

In a message released on Monday, commander of Iran’s Khatam al Anbiya headquarters Major General Ali Abdollahi reacted to recent remarks by US President Donald Trump who told Republican lawmakers at his golf club near Miami, “I think you’ll see it’s going to be a short-term excursion.”

Abdollahi condemned the US-Israeli aggression, which was initiated on February 28 in violation of all international laws and human rights standards by assassinating the former Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and several commanders, and killing many civilians.

“Today, it is no longer the case that the United States and the Zionist regime can start a war against us whenever they wish and end it whenever they choose,” he said.

He stressed that Iran has never been “the initiator of any war and has always respected the territorial integrity of countries, dealing with our neighbors with respect.”

He added that the US and Israel must express regret for their actions and cease threatening any other countries in West Asia.

“They must let the peoples of the region decide their own fate to prevent such situations from arising,” he noted.

The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps has announced wave 33 of Operation True Promise 4, utilizing a large salvo of solid-fuel Kheibar Shekan ballistic missiles equipped with one-ton warheads.

“There is no end to this war,” he said, adding that “the will of our Leader and people, and our armed forces, to seek retribution against our enemies is stronger than ever before.”

He further said that the enemy, deluded by psychological warfare and lies, cannot disrupt the resolve of the nation and the armed forces.

“Let that delusion be buried – Iran will not be weakened,” he added.
