‘‘Next war with Israel will be final‘‘: High-ranking Iranian official to RT

A source has claimed that Tehran still possess numerous “new generation missiles,” against which the Jewish state is “defenseless”

An anonymous high-ranking Iranian source told RT on Monday that Tehran is prepared to make any future war with Israel its “last,” warning that Iran retains advanced missiles capable of overwhelming Israeli defenses.

The source, described as “informed,” said Tehran had identified vulnerabilities in Israel’s security during the most recent 12-day conflict, which ended with a US-brokered ceasefire.

“Iran will make the next war with Israel its last war,” the source claimed, adding that the Islamic Republic could launch hundreds of missiles daily in the event of another conflict. The source added that Tehran had “found the [Israeli] regime’s weak point.”

According to the source, Iranian authorities have “unprecedented social support” from the population at home, as well as Iranians living abroad, to use a “historic opportunity to permanently neutralize the Israeli regime’s threat.”

They insisted that while the Islamic Republic’s leadership is well aware that the US would likely come to Israel’s rescue should it once again engage Iran militarily, Tehran “will overcome this challenge.”

The comments come after the latest round of hostilities between Iran and Israel earlier this month, when the Israeli military targeted Iranian nuclear and military sites, citing concerns that Tehran was nearing a nuclear weapons capability.

The Israeli strikes reportedly killed several senior commanders and scientists, as well as hundreds of civilians, according to Iranian accounts.

In response, Iran launched barrages of drones and missiles at Israeli targets and at the US Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar. The United States then carried out strikes on three Iranian nuclear facilities, including enrichment sites at Natanz and Fordow.

Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei later claimed that Iran’s retaliatory strikes had “practically crushed” Israel’s military capacity, but warned that US intervention prevented a complete Iranian victory.

The ceasefire, negotiated by Washington, has so far held. However, tensions remain high, with US President Donald Trump warning of renewed strikes if Iran continues to pursue nuclear weapons, a charge Tehran denies. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has also suggested that further attacks on Iranian facilities are possible.

Independent confirmation of Iranian missile stockpiles or damage assessments from the recent fighting remains limited. Analysts have cautioned that Iranian statements about overwhelming Israel’s defenses may be exaggerated, although Tehran’s missile arsenal is widely regarded as one of the largest in the region.
