Top Iranian General: Over 80,000 Iranian Missiles Ready to Hit ’Israel’
Local Editor
Top Military Aide to the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Major General Yahya Rahim Safavi warned that the Islamic Republic has tens of thousands of missiles ready to wreak havoc on the Zionist entity.
"The Zionists and the US are aware of the power of Iran and Hizbullah, and they know that over 80,000 [Iranian] missiles are ready to rain down on Tel Aviv and Haifa; Iran is a powerful country which will give a crushing response to them," Major General Rahim Safavi said in reaction to "Israeli" War Minister Ya'alon's threats against Iran.
He reiterated that the "Israeli" officials remember well their defeat in the 33-day war against Hizbullah as well as the 22-day and 50-day wars against the people of Gaza, while when it comes to Iran, they are facing a much tougher enemy that is a powerful state.
He further reminded the recent statements made by the Iranian Supreme Leader, and said as Imam Khamenei, who is the commander-in-chief of the Iranian Armed Forces, has said if the Zionists make a silly move, "we will ruin Haifa and Tel Aviv".
"The Zionists have many problems and they know that Iran is too powerful for them grapple with," Rahim Safavi, a former top commander of the IRGC, added.
The top military advisor said that such boastful remarks by the US and "Israeli" officials are only meant to serve as a ploy.
"We have displayed part of our military capabilities while we have kept many of our achievements and capabilities hidden to outsiders; our response will be crushing not just to the Zionist regime, but to any other aggressor who intends to take action against us," he added.
Ya'alon claimed last week that "Israel" would attack entire civilian neighborhoods during any future assault on Gaza or Lebanon.
Ya'alon threatened that "we are going to hurt Lebanese civilians to include kids of the family. We went through a very long deep discussion ... we did it then, we did it in [the] Gaza Strip, and we are going to do it in any round of hostilities in the future".
The "Israeli" official also appeared to threaten to drop a nuclear bomb on Iran, although he said "we are not there yet".
In response to a question about Iran, Ya'alon said that "in certain cases" when "we feel like we don't have the answer by surgical operations" Israel might take "certain steps" such as the Americans did in "Nagasaki and Hiroshima, causing at the end the fatalities of 200,000".
