As per Tasnim news agency, the commander said the retaliation plan, which aligns with Khamenei's directive, was ready but was not implemented due to the truce.
“If they attack Iran again, they will see what we are capable of doing,” Mousavi was quoted as saying by the state-run agency.
‘Even US may not be able to save Netanyahu’
The Iranian commander further warned that Iran's response to any new attacks will "paralyse" Israel to a point where even "the United States may not be able to save Netanyahu.”
The commander's remarks come days after the US launched strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities amid its conflict with Israel.
