A senior Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps general warned Monday that Iran would carry out a third wave of missile strikes against Israel at the “appropriate time,” after Tehran previously launched two rounds of direct attacks on Israel in April and October 2024.

“The True Promise 3 will be carried out in appropriate time,” said deputy commander-in-chief of the IRGC Brigadier General Ali Fadavi at Tehran’s Amirkabir University of Technology, in remarks carried by Iran’s Mehr news agency.

Fadavi also briefly touched on the war in Gaza, which was sparked by the Hamas-led invasion and massacre in southern Israel on October 7, 2023, claiming that the ongoing ceasefire and hostage release deal was proof that Israel “lost” against the Palestinian terror group.

“Zionist regime officials themselves admit that Hamas won and they lost,” Fadavi claimed.

He was joined at the university, which was marking the 46th anniversary of the 1979 Islamic Revolution, by representatives of Hamas, Hezbollah and Yemen’s Houthi rebels, as well as representatives of Palestinian Islamic Jihad and the Iraqi Hezbollah al-Nujaba militia.
