Iran forces threaten to retaliate if Israel hurts Iran

Xinhua,April 13, 2018 Adjust font size:

TEHRAN, April 12 (Xinhua) -- The Quds forces of Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) on Thursday warned Israel against any offence targeting Iran, semi-official Fars news agency reported.

"If you (Israel) equip Iran with the excuses (to retaliate), Tel Aviv and Haifa will be destroyed totally," Ali Shirazi, the representative of Iran's Supreme Leader in the IRGC's Quds Unit, said here on Thursday.

He advised the Israeli officials "to observe their behavior and not to do foolish act" by attacking Iran.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Iran on Wednesday "not to test Israel's resolve" amid escalating tensions in the region.

Netanyahu said the attacks on Syria's Douma "show that confronting evil and aggression is a mission that is imposed on every generation." Enditem
