The spokesman for Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) told the Iranian Tasnim news agency that Israel knows it would pay a heavy price if Tehran focused its efforts on the country. He claimed Israel is smaller than Iran's Ilam province, arguing the IRGC 'knows exactly what it can do' to Israel.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) spokesman warned Sunday night that if Iran directs its full military efforts against Israel, the Jewish state would suffer severe consequences. In remarks to the semi-official Iranian Tasnim news agency, the spokesman said Israel is smaller than Iran's Ilam province and that the IRGC 'knows exactly what we can do' to Israel.
The threat follows a series of similar IRGC statements in recent weeks, including warnings that US bases are 'no longer safe' and that Tehran is preparing multiple response options against Israel. The IRGC has repeatedly threatened retaliatory action amid ongoing US-Iran hostilities and Israeli operations against Iranian proxies in the region.
The remarks are attributed to a single IRGC official via Tasnim; no independent corroboration was available early Sunday. The spokesman did not specify any operational timeline or target. The Zioneer has reported on the IRGC's evolving threat posture since June 2026, including analyses of Iran's deterrent calculations.
