Iranian official says Iran can destroy Israel
2018-04-13
Sure, but at what cost? President Trump is no Barack Obama. Prime Minister Neranyahu is also no Barack Obama.
[ALMASDARNEWS] The representative of Iran’s supreme leader to the Quds Force ‐ a special forces unit of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corp (IRGC) ‐ warned on Thursday that "Iran can destroy Israel."

The representative, holy man Ali Shirazi, also called on Israel to avoid making "stupid mistakes if it wants to continue its treacherous existence."

"If Israel wants to continue its treacherous existence... it should avoid stupid measures. If they give excuses to Iran, Tel Aviv and Haifa [two major cities in Israel] will be destroyed. Iran can destroy Israel," Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s representative to the Quds force, holy man Ali Shirazi, told the Fars news agency on April 11.

The regional foes have repeatedly accused one another of sponsoring murderous Moslems and destabilizing the region. Two Israeli F-16 warplanes targeted the T-4 airbase in Syria’s Homs province earlier this month according to Russia’s Ministry of Defense.

Around half of the missiles fired by the combat aircraft were intercepted by Syrian air defenses before they reached their targets, but the remaining missiles killed seven Iranian military personnel, prompting condemnation from Tehran and Damascus.

Iran is one of a few remaining countries which refuse to recognize the state of Israel, and has been accused of attempting to develop nuclear weapons to threaten and potentially destroy Israel with.

The Islamic Theocratic Republic has also been criticized for providing advanced armaments to the Hezbollah resistance group in Leb, which Israel and a number of Western nations consider to be a terrorist organization.
