Iran Announces It Is ‘Broadening the Battlefront’ in War on Israel, U.S.Frances Martel 8 May 2024
The commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Maj. Gen. Hossein Salami, claimed on Tuesday his rogue regime is “broadening the battlefront” against Israel and America to hasten the collapse of both nations.
Salami claimed that the existence of both America and Israel “is coming to an end” in the immediate future and that Iran needed the help of every Muslim nation on earth to eradicate free societies because “if the enemy manages to infiltrate into a Muslim state, it will go on with others.”
According to the IRGC-affiliated Tasnim News Agency, Salami claimed that Iran – without specifying if the government directly or its terrorist proxy arms – had “blocked” Israel’s access to parts of the Mediterranean Sea.
“We are broadening the battlefront so that the enemy becomes disintegrated,” he claimed, stating it was necessary for Muslim countries to attack Israel to “safeguard our assets and identities.”
Reports on Salami’s comments did not clearly state what operations, if any, the IRGC was conducting to “broaden the battlefront” into the Mediterranean Sea. While the IRGC itself has not announced any new operations there, the Iran-affiliated “Islamic Resistance in Iraq,” a coalition of Iran-backed Shiite militias, issued a statement on Tuesday claiming to attack Israel in the Mediterranean. The “Islamic Resistance in Iraq” is widely believed to consist of members of the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), a group of Iran-backed Shiite militias that fought the Sunni Islamic State terrorist group and have been formalized as a wing of the Iraqi military.
