War on Iran will expose Israel to full-scale collapse: IRGC chief

The chief commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) says the United States is not interested in waging war on Iran since it knows that any such confrontation would expose the Israeli regime to “full-scale collapse.”

Major General Hossein Salami said on Thursday that Iran’s enemies could not keep any war with Iran confined to the country and would face “an eruption of war and fire and danger everywhere.”

Salami highlighted the growing power of the resistance front in the region, including Syria, Lebanon, and Palestine, saying, “The enemy is well aware that any new war may expose the Zionist regime to full-scale threat and irreversible collapse.”

“A number of US accomplices in the region would once encourage the US to wage war [on Iran] but later realized that a war with Iran would endanger their flimsy political systems, so they kept silent,” the commander added.

“I am certain that the Zionists and [the US’] regional accomplices have no interest in war because they know the geographical scale of that war would be expansive and they know the result [of such a war],” he said.

Under the administration of President Donald Trump, the US has taken an increasingly hostile approach toward Iran. It has breached 2015 international nuclear deal with Iran, imposed economic terrorism on Iran, and ordered the accelerated dispatch of an aircraft carrier to the region to counter an alleged threat from Iran.
