Stern Warning : Israel Defence Minister Warns Iran Of Dire Consequences , Says Tehran Will Burn
“If (Ali) Khamenei continues to fire missiles at the Israeli home front, Tehran will burn,” the Israeli defence minister asserted.
Defence Minister Israel Katz has warned Iran that “Tehran will burn” if it continues firing missiles at Israel as tensions escalated between the two nations.
His comments came after Iran launched retaliatory strikes on Israel following Israel’s attack on Iran’s nuclear, missile and military complex.
“The Iranian dictator is turning the citizens of Iran into hostages and creating a reality in which they, especially the residents of Tehran, will pay a heavy price for the criminal attack on Israeli civilians,” Katz said during a situation assessment with Israel Defence Forces (IDF) Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir, Mossad director David Barnea, and other top military officials.
“If (Ali) Khamenei continues to fire missiles at the Israeli home front, Tehran will burn,” the Israeli defence minister asserted.
Israel has so far kept its attacks limited to Iranian nuclear and military installations and has targeted key officials attached to them.
Iran has fired some 200 ballistic missiles at Israel in several barrages since last night, the IDF said.
Most of the missiles were intercepted by air defences, it claimed.
