On March 3, according to Mehr News Agency of Iran, General Naeini, a spokesperson for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), stated that Iran will continue to strike targets of the United States and Israel, opening "the gates of hell" for them.
Naeini said: "The enemy should expect us to continue with targeted attacks. Every minute, the 'gates of hell' before the United States and Israel will open wider."
The warning of opening "the gates of hell" is not just empty words, but a serious military response and strategic deterrence by Iran after the US and Israel launched large-scale military strikes.
"Every minute, the gates of hell will open wider" means that the intensity and scope of the conflict will continue to escalate, and it will not be limited to a "hit-and-stop" limited conflict.
The spokesperson said that the strike intensity exceeds the enemy's calculations, and missiles are also being upgraded. Meanwhile, the secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council has announced preparations for a long-term war, indicating that this will be a protracted war.
This move aims to deter the US and Israel by demonstrating an unwavering will, warning the other side that further actions will trigger larger-scale retaliation. At the same time, after suffering a "decapitation" strike, it shows a firm stance to reassure the domestic public, consolidate national sentiment, and emphasize that the armed forces have the capability to defend the country.
