Iranian officials have signaled their intention to respond to recent Israeli strikes, threatening further retaliation. The commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guards Corps, Gen. Ali Fadavi, stated that Iran is capable of destroying all that Israel possesses with one operation. The head of the supreme leader's office, Gholamhossein Mohammadi Golpayegani, also promised a fierce response. It remains unclear how and when Iran plans to retaliate, and whether the remarks are bluster or a genuine threat. The escalating cycle of attacks between Iran and Israel has brought the region close to all-out war.
