Iran has threatened to “raze Tel Aviv and Haifa” amid concerns that it is planning attacks on Israeli nationals and targets abroad, the Iranian state news agency reported Tuesday.
“Upon an order of the Supreme Leader of the [Islamic] Revolution, we will raze Tel Aviv and Haifa to the ground for any mistake made by the enemy (Israel),” the commander of the Iranian Army’s ground forces, Kiumars Heydari, told the Fars News Agency.
Heydari was also quoted as saying that “the Israeli-occupied territories will be liberated in less than 25 years.”
He added the range of the Islamic Republic’s drones and missiles has increased, indicating that they could pose a threat to Israel.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said on Tuesday during a meeting of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee that “the days of immunity, in which Iran attacks Israel and spreads terrorism via its regional proxies but remains unscathed – are over."
"We are taking action, everywhere, at any time, and will continue to do so.”
He also said that, in recent years, “Iran has crossed a series of red lines, especially in enriching uranium at a level of 60% – without a response and the world goes on. Israel cannot – and will not – accept such a situation.”
