Iran and Israel are engaging in verbal sparring, issuing their harshest and deadliest warnings to each other yet.

Iranian state television reported on June 15 that

Spokesperson for the Iranian Armed Forces, Reza Safa:

Urge Israeli settlers to evacuate occupied territories as soon as possible, calling it "the only way they can save their lives," since these places will no longer be suitable for your residence.

He candidly stated that we now have a complete database of all your critical sensitive and important locations. Therefore, we reiterate: Do not let this criminal regime use you as human shields.

Safa also mentioned that even taking refuge in underground shelters would not provide true safety for Israelis.

Ignoring the above warnings will lead to even more difficult times ahead for you.

Subsequently, Iran launched a new round of missile attacks against Israel early on June 16.

On June 16, Israel's Defense Minister Benny Gantz issued a threat against Iranian civilians on social platform X.

Gantz claimed that "Iran deliberately fires at Israeli civilian rear areas with the aim of preventing the Israel Defense Forces from continuing their attacks to undermine its capabilities." He threatened that "Iranian civilians will pay the price, and it will come very soon."

Chinese experts interpreted that

Iran has demonstrated its military capabilities to some extent, and will continue to strike key cities and facilities in Israel, mobilizing regional allies such as the Houthis to attack Israel.

Iran will retaliate in various forms subsequently, and the intensity may increase further.

From this judgment, the new developments in the military conflict are transitioning towards a full-scale war.

Israel initiated this conflict, but it may not end smoothly. As long as Israel does not take the initiative to stop, Iran will see it through, and the situation will escalate further.

In terms of war endurance, Iran outperforms Israel, so Iran is not afraid of a prolonged attrition war, which is exactly what Israel does not want to see. Based on this, there will be fiercer clashes soon. Both sides hope for a decisive battle to end the war, but this is impossible.
