The Iranian armed forces have issued a grave warning to Israeli settlers residing in the occupied territories, urging their immediate evacuation as Iran prepares for widespread retaliatory strikes. In a televised statement on Sunday, Colonel Reza Sayyad, spokesperson for Iran’s Armed Forces Communications Center, cautioned that individuals remaining in the occupied areas are placing their lives at severe risk. This warning comes in response to what Tehran characterizes as Israel’s recent military aggression against the Islamic Republic.
“Leave the occupied territories. Leaving this occupied land is the sole means to preserve your lives,” Sayyad declared, describing Israel as a “Zionist regime” engaged in criminal acts. He labeled Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government as “desperate, corrupt, and criminal,” adding that its latest offensive was “doomed to fail.”
Sayyad emphasized that Iran’s retaliation would encompass all regions of the occupied territories. He stated that Iranian forces possess a “comprehensive intelligence bank” identifying sensitive targets throughout Israeli-controlled areas, advising settlers to avoid these locations. He further warned that even underground shelters would not guarantee their safety.
