Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps chief says Thaad system won't protect Israel

The chief of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps has called out the US's deployment of a Thaad missile defence system to Israel, as the region braces for an Israeli strike on Iran. 

“Just as the Arrow anti-missile systems did not work during Operation True Promise 2, the Thaad systems will not work either. Do not rely on Thaad, they have limited capabilities,”  IRGC chief Hossein Salami said, according to Russian news agency, TASS. 

True Promise 2 was the name of Iran's 1 October ballistic missile attack on Israel.
