According to National Iraqi News Agency, Salami affirmed that Iran is “determined to protect the rights of the Iranian people and the country’s sovereignty,” stressing that Tehran will not tolerate any threat. The Iranian military commander indicated that “Israel will be the first to be targeted by Iran in the event of a confrontation,” emphasizing that Tel Aviv is well aware of the extent of Iran’s capabilities.
