Iran General Says They Are Just Waiting For The Order To Destroy Israel
by NTEB News Desk
Iran: The air force commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps was
quoted by Iran’s Fars news agency as saying Tuesday that Iran’s military
has its finger on the trigger to destroy Israel as soon as it receives
the order to do so.

In an article headlined “IRGC Commander: Iran’s Finger on Trigger to
Destroy Zionist Regime,” Fars wrote that Brigadier General Hossein
Salami had declared that Iranian military commanders are prepared to
attack and destroy the Zionist regime of Israel as soon as they receive
such an order. “Today, we can destroy every spot which is under the
Zionist regime’s control with any volume of fire power (that we want)
right from here,” Fars quoted Salami as telling a conference in Tehran
Tuesday on “The Islamic World’s Role in the Geometry of the World
Power.”
Iranian leaders regularly issue threats against Israel and the United
States, but the wording ascribed to Salami on Tuesday was particularly
aggressive.
“Islam has given us this wish, capacity and power to destroy the Zionist
regime so that our hands will remain on the trigger from 1,400
kilometers away for the day when such an incident (confrontation with
Israel) takes place,” he was also quoted saying in the speech.
The comments came a day after Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
presented a shipment of what he said were Iranian arms intercepted at
sea last week, which he charged were intended for terror groups in Gaza.
Netanyahu castigated the West for clinging to the illusion that Iran
had changed, and said it remained relentlessly committed to fostering
terrorism and advancing a nuclear weapons program.
Last month, Iranian state TV ran a documentary featuring a computerized
video of Iran’s drones and missiles bombing Tel Aviv, Haifa, Ben Gurion
Airport and the Dimona nuclear reactor in a hypothetical retaliation for
an Israeli or American strike on the Islamic Republic.
Iranian drones and missiles were also shown in the film carrying out
simulated strikes on the American aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln,
downing American aircraft and striking American military targets in the
Persian Gulf.
Set to dramatic music, the video showed Iranian drones and missiles
carrying out strikes against Tel Aviv’s Kikar Hamedina square, the
Azrieli Towers skyscrapers, and the IDF’s Kirya central command complex,
as well as Ben Gurion International Airport, Haifa’s Technion, several
army and air force bases, and the nuclear reactor in Dimona.
In November, Iranian state television aired a shorter animated clip
showing Iranian missiles targeting Israeli cities. source - Times of
