Iran Briefing – according to Fars News Agency, Mohammad Hejazi, pointed to the remarks made by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s New Year statement about razing Tel Aviv and Haifa to the ground if the enemy made a foolish move, said: “we have the preparedness to put this statement into action in the shortest time possible if the enemy makes a foolish move.”
Speaking to reporters, along Bagher Al-Oloum Festival in Baghiatollah Hospital of Tehran, he noted that: “Khamenei is well aware of the Iranian Armed Forces’ capability. We have the preparedness to put this statement into action in the shortest time possible if the enemy makes a foolish move.”
Hejazi played down statements by the U.S. and Israel that all options are on the table in dealing with the Iranian nuclear threat, and said: “Table legs are eaten by Termites and such statements signify their passive stance.”
He pointed to the nuclear negotiation in Almaty, Kazakhstan, between Iran and International Community and said: “the enemy knows that using threatening literature and military option are useless and that’s why they are negotiating.”
In response of threats by Iranian authorities, Israel’s Chief of Staff, Benny Gantz told public radio on the 65th anniversary of Israel’s foundation that our army is capable to attack any target, if it received the command. There is no place from Tehran to Gaza where Israel cannot fight.
Most of the military experts believe that Iran’s military power versus Israel’s military strength is negligible. According to Iran’s military commanders to attack Israel and destroying Tel Aviv, it’s just a claim and mostly aspects of psychological warfare.
