In case
of the eruption of such a [war] condition, the situation would spin out of
control and management; this war is likely to degenerate into the World War
III."

General Amir-Ali Hajizadeh, commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps
(IRGC) Aerospace Division
A senior
Iranian military commander has warned that an Israeli strike on the Islamic
Republic could trigger the World War III.
“We see
the United States and the Zionist regime [of Israel] alongside one another and
can by no means imagine that the Zionist regime would initiate a war [against
Iran] without the US support….In case of the eruption of such a [war]
condition, the situation would spin out of control and management; this war is
likely to degenerate into the World War III. It means that some countries might
enter the war in favor of or against Iran,” Brigadier General Amir-Ali
Hajizadeh, commander of the Aerospace Division of the Islamic Revolution Guards
Corps (IRGC), said on Al-Alam television on Sunday.
“An
independent war between Iran and the Zionist regime or the US could not be
imagined,” the general said, adding that in case a war breaks out, Iran would
be on collision course with both sides.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran considers the
US bases in the region as part of the American soil and will definitely target
them if a war breaks out,” he added.
He went
on to say that “One should not imagine that the countries in the region would
declare neutrality if a war breaks outs.”
On
Saturday, IRGC chief Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari said a war on Iran “will
eventually happen,” warning that the attack will lead to the Israeli regime’s
obliteration.
Israel
is stepping up threats of carrying out a unilateral strike against Iran’s
nuclear energy facilities before the US presidential election on November 6.
However, the US opposes any Israeli military action at the current juncture.
Israeli
threats are based on the unsubstantiated claims that the peaceful nuclear
activities of the Islamic Republic have been diverted to the acquisition of
military nuclear capability.
