‘Time is on our side’, says Iran on retaliating against Israel

In remarks reported by state media, Ali Mohammad Naeini, the new spokesperson for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, said that the timing and nature of Iran’s retaliation for the assassination of Hamas political chief Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran might differ from expectations.

He added:

• Israel should be prepared for precise strikes at the appropriate time.
• Time is on Iran’s side, and the wait for this response could be prolonged.
• Iran’s response may not necessarily repeat past operations.
