Tensions in the Middle East showed no signs of easing Monday as a high-ranking Iranian military official pledged that Israel will face “bitter and unimaginable consequences” for its weekend attack on military targets that killed at least four Iranian soldiers.
Major General Hossein Salami, commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps, said the attack showed Israel’s “miscalculation and its frustration in the battlefield” in Gaza and Lebanon. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei echoed Salami’s statements, saying Iran will “use all available tools” to respond to Israel’s attack.
