The tension between Tehran and Washington has seen a new surge since the assassination of Iranian General Qassem Soleimani, killed Friday by an American air strike in Baghdad.
Iran has promised to avenge him with “military” action, but Trump said on Saturday he was ready to strike 52 sites in Iran, “very quickly and very hard” if the Islamic Republic attacks US personnel or targets .
Some of these Iranian sites “are very high profile and very important to Iran and Iranian culture,” he said on Twitter, adding, “The United States does not want any more threats! “
“Mr. Trump, did you tweet that you are going to attack 52 targets in Iran?” Replied Mohsen Rezai, former commander-in-chief of the Revolutionary Guards, and now secretary of the Discernment Council, a key post in the Iranian political system, said on Sunday.
“Did you tweet that you would attack again if Iran retaliated?” “Continued Mr. Rezai, quoted by the semi-official agency Isna.
“Rest assured that Iran will reduce [alors] Haifa and the centers [urbains] Israelis in dust in such a way that Israel would be wiped off the face of the globe, “he added.
“If America takes any action after our military response, we will reduce Tel Aviv and Haifa to dust,” Rezai also said on his Twitter account.
The Islamic Republic of Iran does not recognize the existence of Israel. Several of his generals have threatened in the past to attack the Jewish state or destroy it in the event of an American attack on Iranian territory.
