Commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps' elite Quds Force, Maj. Gen. Esmail Ghaani, said Tuesday that "tough days" await Israel and the United States.
Ghaani's remarks broke the Iranian regime's silence on a series of explosions that have recently occurred at Iranian industrial facilities.

"Tough times lie ahead for the United States and the Zionist regime. Major events are about to strike you," Ghaani said, as quoted by the Tasnim news agency.
The Quds Force commander hinted that a fire that broke out on the US aircraft carrier Richard Bonham in San Diego was Iranian retaliation for the recent blasts.
"The Americans should not look for who is responsible for what is happening to them. The fire they see now is a fire they themselves set. It is a response to the crimes your people have committed," Ghaani said.
On Monday, Iranian media outlets reported that the IRGC planned to deliver cutting-edge anti-aircraft missiles to Syria. According to the Nour news agency, Tehran intends to send Khordad 3 and Bavar-373 missiles, both surface-to-air models, to the regime of Syrian President Bashar Assad.
