Iran to continue operations against Israel until its complete destruction — IRGC

DUBAI, June 16. /TASS/. Iran will continue operations against Israel until it is completely destroyed, the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), Tehran's elite security force, said in a statement.

"Supporters of the criminal [Israeli] regime should know that [Iran's] effective, deliberate and lethal operations against the regime's vital targets will continue until it is completely destroyed," the Tasnim news agency quoted the statement as saying.

Overnight into June 13, Israel kicked off Operation Rising Lion aimed against Iran's nuclear program. Iran retaliated in less than 24 hours. Israel and Iran exchanged strikes again on June 14 and in the early hours of June 15. Both parties reported casualties and damage, and admitted that a number of facilities had been hit, but said the damage was minor.
