A senior commander of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy was caught on camera issuing a direct call to “wipe Israel off the map.” The speech, delivered to a cheering crowd of regime loyalists, once again reveals the IRGC’s true objective: the complete annihilation of the Jewish state.
This is not metaphor. This is not posturing. It is a declaration of war.
The commander’s statement is just the latest in a long series of threats from Iran’s military elite, echoing calls from Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and other regime figures who have openly stated that Israel has no right to exist.
The IRGC: The World’s Largest Terror Army
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, officially designated as a foreign terrorist organization by the United States, is not a conventional military force. It is a state-sponsored terror network, operating across multiple countries through armed proxies including:
- Hezbollah in Lebanon
- Hamas and Islamic Jihad in Gaza
- Shiite militias in Iraq and Syria
- The Houthis in Yemen
Since the October 7, 2023 massacre—the deadliest attack on Jews since the Holocaust—these proxies have launched daily attacks on Israel, all orchestrated by the IRGC.
On April 13, 2024, Iran launched the largest missile attack in human history—over 120 ballistic missiles, 30 cruise missiles, and 170 drones—targeting Israeli cities in a bid to cause mass casualties. On October 1, 2024, they launched 200 more ballistic missiles in “Operation True Promise 2,” seeking Israel’s total destruction.
Now, a top IRGC naval commander is proudly broadcasting the regime’s genocidal ambition again—and the world must take it seriously.
The West Must Wake Up
While Iran’s military leaders continue to call for the destruction of Israel, global institutions remain largely silent. The United Nations, instead of condemning this open incitement to genocide, criticizes Israel’s self-defense.
This double standard cannot be ignored. Iran is not hiding its goals. It is stating them plainly. And unless confronted, the world will soon find that Israel is only the first target.
