Iran's New IRGC Chief Vows to ‘Open Gates of Hell’ After Israeli Attacks

On Friday overnight, Israel launched Operation Rising Lion, sending 200 warplanes to strike Iran's nuclear and military targets in Tehran and other cities.
The operation followed the 2018 U.S. withdrawal from a nuclear deal and culminated after secret Israeli preparations and rejected negotiations by Tehran.
The strikes killed key commanders, including IRGC chief Hossein Salami and armed forces chief Mohammad Bagheri, damaged the Natanz nuclear site, and provoked missile and drone retaliations.
Major General Mohammad Pakpour, appointed IRGC commander by Supreme Leader Khamenei, vowed in a televised letter to 'open the gates of hell' against Israel in retaliation.
Iran promised decisive retaliation targeting Israel's infrastructure if attacked again, while Israel declared the strikes only marked the start of a prolonged campaign.
