IRGC general says militias are legitimate targets

A senior Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) commander, General Radan, has declared that the presence of Iranian-backed militias on the streets makes them legitimate military targets. He specifically referenced Basij, Fatemiyoun, and Hashd al-Shaabi forces, stating their impact is equivalent to that of missile launcher operators. The statement implies these forces are now considered valid targets for Israeli drone strikes. This rhetoric signals a hardening of Iran's defensive posture amid heightened regional tensions.
