Iranian Political Analyst: We Always Threaten to Retaliate with “Harsh Revenge” But It Never Happe..

Iranian political analyst Mohammad Taghi Aghayan criticized the regime in an April 1, 2024 show on Ofogh TV (Iran) for failing to retaliate for the assassination of Iranian officials. He spoke following an attack on senior Iranian military officials in the Iranian embassy in Damascus, attributed to Israel. Aghayan stated that Iran promised a “harsh revenge” following the killing of IRGC Qods Force commander Qasem Soleimani, Sayyed Razi Mousavi, Hamas military leader Saleh Al-Arouri, and PMU leaders, however, this never materialized beyond an attack on the Ayn Al-Asad Airbase and Erbil. He suggested that Iran strikes Israeli territory directly without using its proxies, in response to its attack on the Iranian embassy in Damascus. Aghayan said that Iran should use the ballistic and hypersonic missiles that Iran has unveiled and tested.
