The commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, Major General Hossein Salami, warned that "the continuation of Israeli massacres in the Gaza Strip will change the equations in the region," adding that "Israel will burn in the fire it has ignited." Salami stated that Israel "fears a ground invasion and fighting on the ground in Gaza," indicating that "if the Zionists launch a ground attack in Gaza, they will be buried there." He remarked, "Israel is an alien entity in the geography and land of the region, and it is mistaken if it thinks that Muslims will remain idle while these crimes against the Palestinians continue." He noted that "great powers suffered a resounding defeat during the Al-Aqsa Flood operation," accusing the United States of "seeking to ignite war in the region." It is noteworthy that the Iranian military will begin extensive maneuvers for all formations of ground forces starting tomorrow, Friday.
