JAKARTA - The Deputy Commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps threatened to carry out attacks targeting Israeli power plants and gas refineries if they retaliated against a ballistic missile attack a few days ago.

Iran is a large and wide country and has many economic centers, while Israel has three power plants and several refineries. We can target all of this at once," said Brigadier General Ali Fadavi as quoted by CNN, Friday, October 4.

Fadavi said Iran would target all energy sites if Israel made a mistake.

Iran previously fired a series of ballistic missiles at Israeli cities on Tuesday, October 1 in response to the assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasollah in Beirut last week. The attack caused minimal damage.

In Beirut, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi also warned of a "hard response" if Israel attacked, saying so far his country had only attacked Israeli security sites and military.

His comments echoed earlier statements from Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, who said Iran's attack on Israel on Tuesday was the lightest punishment and Iran would attack Israel again if needed.
