Iranian Army Chief Vows to Destroy Tel Aviv & Haifa if Israel Makes ‘Tiniest’ Mistake

It is just so pathetic that in the 21st century leaders of countries talk to each other like children. It seems obvious to me that we will destroy each other long before we ever grow up and act like adults.

An Iranian Army commander warns that Tehran will raze Tel Aviv and Haifa to the ground if Israel makes any mistake, local media report. The commander also said Israel will not last longer than 25 years.

Israel will not last longer than 25 years

Major General Abdolrahim Mousavi, who became commander-in-chief of the Islamic Republic of Iran Army (AJA) in August this year, said on Monday that Israel may exist for a maximum of 25 more years, as cited by Tasnim news agency.

He added that any mistake by Israel would result in Haifa and Tel Aviv being razed to the ground, the news outlet reports.

Israel and Iran have repeatedly exchanged verbal jabs. In June this year, there were anti-Israel rallies across Iran on Al-Quds Day, with protesters shouting slogans against the Jewish state and condemning the occupation of Palestine. People shouted “Death to Israel” and held banners with slogans such as “Israel should be wiped off the map.” 

Israel has also had harsh words regarding Iran.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if, during the Iranian election on May 19, somebody assassinates the president of Iran, Hassan Rouhani,” Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman said in April. 

In March, Mossad chief Yossi Cohen said that Iran remains a threat to Israel with or without the nuclear deal.

“As long as the current regime exists, with the nuclear agreement or without it, Iran will continue to serve as the main threat to Israel’s security,” Cohen said. 

Iran is so big it could easily absorb every Palestinian who ever lived and they would hardly even be noticeable. But, of course, Iran is not interested in solving the Palestinian problem in any way other than the annihilation of Israel, and if the Palestinian problem goes away, so also, goes their excuse to attack the Jews. That can never be allowed to happen.
