Iran says missile strikes on Israel will continue 'as long as needed'

A top adviser to the commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has warned that Tehran will keep up its missile strikes on Israel for as long as it deems necessary.

Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi told state television that the latest operation targeted 150 sites across Israel and was executed in several waves.

“Based on our assessment of the situation, this operation will continue as long as needed,” he said.

“The Israelis now realise they miscalculated and should expect consequences — this is only the beginning.”

Iran said the missiles, launched less than 24 hours after it was struck, hit military installations and caused extensive damage.
