Iran threatens Israel with airstrikes: Fighter jets on standby amid escalating tensions

Iranian Air Force Commander Brigadier General Hamid Vahedi of Las Forces Airlines Iranians issued a warning on Wednesday, stating that they are prepared with Russian Sukhoi Su-24 fighter jets to “hit targets” if the “enemy” makes strategic mistakes. This statement was seen as a potential reference to Israel and a possible retaliation.

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

This warning comes in the wake of recent tensions between Iran and Israel, with the “True Promise” operation being cited as a limited response to Israeli actions. President of Iran, Ebrahim Raisí, also warned about the consequences of a large-scale conflict with Israel.

Despite the challenges faced by Iran in acquiring new fighter jets due to sanctions, they announced plans to purchase Sukhoi Su-35 aircraft from Russia. However, there has been little information 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.
