Tehran – An Iranian official said his country would destroy Tel Aviv and kill Benjamin Netanyahu if the Israeli prime minister followed through on his threat to attack Iran.

“About Netanyahu’s unwise words, I should say that if they carry out the slightest unwise move against Iran, we will level Tel Aviv to the ground and will not give any opportunity to Netanyahu to flee,” the secretary of Iran’s Expediency Council, Mohsen Rezaee, told the Arabic-language al-Manar news channel on Monday, according to Fars News Agency.
The Expediency Council is an administrative assembly that provides counsel to Iran’s supreme leader, who appoints its members.
On Sunday, Netanyahu threatened to attack Iran in response to terror attacks on Israel’s soil.
“Israel will not allow Iran’s regime to put a noose of terror around our neck. We will act without hesitation to defend ourselves. And we will act, if necessary, not just against Iran’s proxies that are attacking us but against Iran itself,” Netanyahu said at the Munich Security Conference.
Netanyahu waved a piece of an Iranian drone shot down over northern Israel last week, which led to Israeli airstrikes on Iranian targets in Syria, and directly addressed Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, who also attended the conference.
Zarif later mocked Netanyahu’s theatrics, calling it a “cartoonish circus.” Netanyahu had called Zarif in his speech “the smooth-talking mouthpiece of Iran’s regime” who “lies with eloquence.”
I am sure the Israelis are shaking in the boots.
The Eritrea and, Sudanese and other Africans already destroyed it and bibis life is threatened only by so called Israeli arabs
Empty barrels make lots of noise. Iran has been threatening Israel for years but when they get one open threat from Israel they run hide and yell…
What’s with these crazy moslems always threatening everybody?as if they could do something.
The Netanyahu quote states that Israel will “act”, which could mean anything, and in particular political (political is a serious threat with Trump as President and Republican legislatures still in the majority). I see nothing about “attack”. In particular, jta notes: “Netanyahu told reporters he focused his Munich address on Iran to convince U.S President Donald Trump to reinstate sanctions against Iran, in an effort to roll back the nuclear deal with the Islamic State.”
In contrast, Iran is all about “attack” and “killing”.
This is a perfect time of the year to say this, remember Haman and Purim. Israel has had these threats from time on, and Israel is still here, where are the ones that threatened Israel, dead and buried. These that threaten Israel should rethink what they just said, for Israel is and the others are not.
Thank Gd Israel now has America backing her in every way and she will not hesitate to wipe this vermin filled terror regime off the face of the earth!
