Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps calls for “revenge” for yesterday’s killing of Hezbollah’s top military commander Haytham Ali Tabatabai in an Israeli air strike on Beirut.

“The right of the Axis of Resistance and Lebanese Hezbollah to avenge the blood of the brave fighters of Islam is unquestionable,” the IRGC, Hezbollah’s main military and financial backer, says in a statement, referring to the network of Iran-backed terror groups hostile to Israel.
