Salami made the comments to Hezbollah deputy secretary-general Naim Qassem during a meeting between the two in Tehran, according to Iranian media.
The meeting Saturday came a day after Hezbollah fired 19 rockets at Israel in the heaviest barrage since the 2006 Second Lebanon War.
A photo of Salami and Qassem was published on Saturday on the IRGC’s Telegram channel. Qassem was in Tehran for the inauguration of ultra-conservative Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi. At his inauguration ceremony on Thursday, both Qassem and Hamas terror group chief Ismail Haniyeh could be seen in the audience.
On Saturday, Salami told Qassem during the meeting that “the capacities are ready for the collapse of the Zionist regime,” according to Iranian state-linked media Tehran Times.
Back in Lebanon, Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah said Saturday that the terror group was not seeking escalation with Israel, but would respond in kind to any Israeli airstrikes.
“We wanted to tell our Israeli enemy that any airstrike against Lebanon will absolutely be met with a response — but in an appropriate, proportional way,” Nasrallah said in a pre-scheduled televised address celebrating Hezbollah’s self-described “victory” in the 2006 war against Israel.
Israel struck targets in south Lebanon late Wednesday in response to rocket fire by Palestinian terror groups in the area, according to the Israeli military. On Friday morning, Hezbollah fired a barrage of nineteen 122mm rockets into northern Israel, sending residents in a number of towns in the Golan Heights and Galilee scrambling to shelters.
The terror group immediately took responsibility for the rocket fire and released a video of the assault showing a mobile rocket launcher maneuvering into position, raising the launcher and firing the salvo of rockets at Israel. READ MORE
