Iran General Says They Are Just Waiting For The Order To Destroy Israel
Iran: The air force commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps was quoted by Iran’s Fars news agency as saying Tuesday that Iran’s military has its finger on the trigger to destroy Israel as soon as it receives the order to do so.
In an article headlined “IRGC Commander: Iran’s Finger on Trigger to Destroy Zionist Regime,” Fars wrote that Brigadier General Hossein Salami had declared that Iranian military commanders are prepared to attack and destroy the Zionist regime of Israel as soon as they receive such an order. “Today, we can destroy every spot which is under the Zionist regime’s control with any volume of fire power (that we want) right from here,” Fars quoted Salami as telling a conference in Tehran Tuesday on “The Islamic World’s Role in the Geometry of the World Power.”
In November, Iranian state television aired a shorter animated clip showing Iranian missiles targeting Israeli cities. source – Times of Israel
Iran General Says They Are Just Waiting For The Order To Destroy Israel
Iran: The air force commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps was quoted by Iran’s Fars news agency as saying Tuesday that Iran’s military has its finger on the trigger to destroy Israel as soon as it receives the order to do so.
In an article headlined “IRGC Commander: Iran’s Finger on Trigger to Destroy Zionist Regime,” Fars wrote that Brigadier General Hossein Salami had declared that Iranian military commanders are prepared to attack and destroy the Zionist regime of Israel as soon as they receive such an order. “Today, we can destroy every spot which is under the Zionist regime’s control with any volume of fire power (that we want) right from here,” Fars quoted Salami as telling a conference in Tehran Tuesday on “The Islamic World’s Role in the Geometry of the World Power.”
Iranian leaders regularly issue threats against Israel and the United States, but the wording ascribed to Salami on Tuesday was particularly aggressive.
“Islam has given us this wish, capacity and power to destroy the Zionist regime
so that our hands will remain on the trigger from 1,400 kilometers away
for the day when such an incident (confrontation with Israel) takes
place,” he was also quoted saying in the speech.
The comments came a day after Israel’s Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu presented a shipment of what he said were
Iranian arms intercepted at sea last week, which he charged were
intended for terror groups in Gaza. Netanyahu castigated the West for clinging to the illusion that Iran had changed, and said it remained relentlessly committed to fostering terrorism and advancing a nuclear weapons program.
Last month, Iranian state TV ran a documentary featuring a computerized video of Iran’s drones and missiles bombing Tel
Aviv, Haifa, Ben Gurion Airport and the Dimona nuclear reactor in a
hypothetical retaliation for an Israeli or American strike on the
Islamic Republic.
Iranian
drones and missiles were also shown in the film carrying out simulated
strikes on the American aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, downing
American aircraft and striking American military targets in the Persian
Gulf.
Set to dramatic music, the video showed
Iranian drones and missiles carrying out strikes against Tel Aviv’s
Kikar Hamedina square, the Azrieli Towers skyscrapers, and the IDF’s
Kirya central command complex, as well as Ben Gurion International
Airport, Haifa’s Technion, several army and air force bases, and the
nuclear reactor in Dimona.
