Iranian armed forces have issued a grave warning to Israeli settlers in the occupied territories, calling for 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 those who remain in the occupied areas are putting their lives at serious risk. The warning comes in response to what Tehran describes as Israel’s recent military aggression against the Islamic Republic.
“Leave the occupied territories. Leaving this occupied land is the only way to preserve your lives,” Sayyad said, describing Israel as a “Zionist regime” engaged in criminal actions.
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 cover all regions of the occupied territories. He said Iranian forces have a “comprehensive intelligence bank” identifying sensitive targets throughout Israeli-controlled areas, cautioning settlers to avoid these locations. He further warned that even underground shelters would not ensure their safety.
