We will raze Tel Aviv, Haifa if Israel makes any mistake, Iranian general warns
The commander of the Iranian Army’s Ground Force has warned that Tehran will raze Tel Aviv and Haifa if Israel makes any mistake against Tehran.
“By the order of the Leader of the [Islamic] Revolution, we will raze Tel Aviv and Haifa to the ground for any mistake made by the enemy,” Brigadier General Kioumars Heydari said on Tuesday.
Heydari noted that the Israeli-occupied territories will be liberated in less than 25 years, adding, “Today, the military and defense achievements of the army of the Islamic Republic of Iran are a thorn in the enemies’ eyes.”
He added that “the range of drones and operational missiles of the Army’s Ground Force has increased.”
Referring to the strategic drone base 313, Heydari said all such equipment is aimed to respond to any foolish attack by the country’s enemies, adding that the light weapons of the Iranian ground forces are also being “changed, updated, and localized.”
Iranian politicians and military officials have repeatedly warned Israel against any adventurism against the Islamic Republic, warning of a crushing response to any act of aggression.
The latest warning comes as a member of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) was assassinated last month in a shooting blamed on Israel.
Colonel Hassan Sayyad Khodaei was assassinated by two motorcyclists who shot him five times before fleeing the scene on May 22. He was dismounting his car to enter his home in an eastern neighborhood of the Iranian capital when three bullets hit him in the head and two bullets in the hand.
The New York Times on May 25 cited an intelligence official as saying that Israel has informed American officials that it was behind the assassination.
On Monday, the Israeli newspaper Haaretz said in an editorial that the assassinations of Iranian figures that have been attributed to Israel are “pointless”, likening them to “a neighborhood bully.”
