Another top Iranian official is threatening to destroy Israel if the
U.S. carries out more strikes against the Ayatollah regime. While
speaking Sunday, the secretary of Iran’s Expediency Council vowed to
annihilate Haifa, Tel Aviv as well as other cities in Israel.Secretary Mohsen Rezaei claimed this would happen if the U.S. strikes Iran again. This comes as President Trump said the U.S. has identified 52 potential targets that will be hit if Iran continues its threats. However, the Iranian secretary said his country could target top U.S. military officials.
Iranian Secretary Rezaei had this to say:
“The U.S. has put its soldiers and
commander on the edge of the blade of resistance. Where would you want
to stay? In Iraq? In Syria? In the region? Mr. Trump should be sure that
life for American soldiers will be bitter and more embarrassing, and
they will be kicked out of the region embarrassingly.”
The Pentagon has redeployed additional forces to Iran’s borders that are now on stand-by to prevent any further attacks.
