Iran official says Israeli cities can be targets
A former leader of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard says the Israeli cities of Tel Aviv and Haifa can be targeted to avenge a general killed by a US drone strike in Baghdad.
Mohsen Rezaee makes the comment in Tehran at a ceremony in honor of the slain military chief Qassem Soleimani.
Rezaee has previously alleged Israel somehow leaked information about Soleimani’s whereabouts to US forces, who killed him Friday in a drone strike.
