In a public address marking Quds (Jerusalem) Day, IRGC Deputy Commander Brigadier-General Hossein Salami warned the "Zionists": "We will hunt you down from house to house, and avenge every drop of blood of our martyrs in Palestine." Salami further said: "The world of Islam will become a graveyard for the policies of America, the Zionist regime, and their reactionary allies in the region."
Following are excerpts from the address, broadcast on the Iranian news channel IRINN on July 25, 2014:
Hossein Salami: Today, the resistance of the Palestinian people keeps on growing. The truth of Palestine will rise from the rubble. The tall palm trees of the Palestinian nation will grow even taller from this formidable Jihad.

You are a tree without roots, planted in Islamic lands by the British. We will hunt you down from house to house, and avenge every drop of blood of our martyrs in Palestine. This is the awakening of the Muslim nations, in order to bring you down.
