Brigadier General Ali Shadmani, deputy coordinator of Iran's Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters
Moscow, August 12 (RHC)-- A senior Iranian military official asserts that the Islamic Republic’s harsh revenge on the Israeli regime over the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in the Iranian capital of Tehran is "fast approaching."
The retaliation “is on its way,” Brigadier General Ali Shadmani, deputy coordinator of Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, said in Russia on Sunday. The headquarters is tasked with planning and coordinating joint military operations within the Iranian Armed Forces. “The aspects of this [retaliatory] measure are under consideration,” he noted, adding, “It will definitely take place.”
The assassination claimed the lives of Haniyeh, the Palestinian resistance movement’s Political Bureau chief, and one of his bodyguards in Tehran late last month. Ismail Haniyeh was in the Iranian capital to attend the inauguration ceremony of Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian.
Soon after the attack in Tehran, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei warned the Israeli regime of a "harsh response," saying it was the Islamic Republic's duty to avenge the blood of the Palestinian resistance leader.
Brigadier General Shadmani is in the Russian capital to attend the 10th international military-technical forum “Army-2024,” which is taking place from Monday to Wednesday.
Iran’s high-profile delegation is to pay a visit to the Army-2024 which is organized and fully supported by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. The military event is to showcase the military equipment capabilities of foreign exhibitors, and delegations.
The Islamic Republic of Iran’s defense and military industries have been actively participating in the exhibition for the third consecutive year. The latest military and defense products of Iran will be put on display during the expo.
The Deputy Coordinator of the Khatam al-Anbiya Base, Brigadier General Ali Shadmani, is heading the Iranian delegation.
The forum is considered as a platform for companies and enterprises to demonstrate their products for further integration into cooperation within the military-industrial complex.
