A senior Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps general says that Iran will carry out a third wave of missile strikes against Israel at the “appropriate time.”

“The True Promise 3 will be carried out in appropriate time,” Brigadier General Ali Fadavi, IRGC number two, says in remarks carried by Iran’s Mehr news agency.

Amid Israel’s wars with Iranian proxies Hamas and Hezbollah, Iran twice fired massive missile and drone barrages at Israel, which were largely thwarted by air defenses in cooperation with the US and its regional allies.

Israel responded with two rounds of strikes on Iran, the second of which, in October, destroyed much of the Islamic Republic’s air defense systems as well as some key military facilities and demonstrated Israel’s ability to operate uninhibited over Iranian airspace.
