Speaking at a conference in Kermanshah honoring martyrs, Salami declared that Israel is "digging its own grave" and described the regime as one of the most hated globally, with few world leaders—aside from U.S. officials—willing to visit.

Salami emphasized that the IRGC's recent missile launch during "Operation True Promise II" revealed the shortcomings of Israel’s defense systems. He criticized the Israeli reliance on its newly deployed THAAD system, asserting that it would be ineffective in protecting the regime from Iran's missiles.

"The Zionist entity is waiting for the consequences of its actions, which will erase its existence off the face of the earth," the IRGC chief stated. He also expressed solidarity with the fighters in Lebanon and Gaza, noting their steadfastness against Israeli forces. Salami warned that soon "men from all over the world" would join the resistance against Israel, concluding with a vow: "We will defeat you." (ILKHA)
