Iranian Air Force Commander Threatens Retaliation with Russian Sukhoi Su-24 Jets over Israel

In a warning to the enemy, Iranian Air Force Commander Brigadier General Hamid Vahedi of Las Forces Airlines announced that they are prepared with Russian Sukhoi Su-24 fighter jets to “hit targets” if strategic mistakes are made. This statement was seen as a potential reference to Israel and a possible retaliation for recent tensions between Iran and Israel.

During a speech on National Army Day, Vahedi emphasized the readiness of the Iranian armed forces to strike targets, particularly with the Sukhoi-24 aircraft. He cautioned the enemy against making strategic errors that could lead to a strong response from the Iranian military.

This warning comes after President of Iran, Ebrahim Raisí, also warned about the consequences of a large-scale conflict with Israel. Despite facing challenges in acquiring new fighter jets due to sanctions, Iran has announced plans to purchase Sukhoi Su-35 aircraft from Russia. However, little information has been released on the delivery of these new units.

The escalating tensions between Iran and Israel highlight the volatile situation in the region, with both sides prepared for potential conflict. The warnings issued by Iranian officials serve as a reminder of the consequences of any strategic mistakes made by the enemy.
