Iran threatens it will hit Israeli energy, gas sites if it is attacked

Iran will target Israeli energy and gas installations if Israel attacks it, the semi-official Iranian news agency SNN quotes Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps deputy commander Ali Fadavi as saying.

“If the occupiers make such a mistake, we will target all their energy sources, installations, and all refineries and gas fields,” Fadavi said.

The threat comes soon after Iran’s leader Ali Khamenei defended Hamas’s invasion, slaughter and mass abductions in southern Israel on October 7, 2023. He also said Israel “cannot seriously harm” Hezbollah and Hamas, as the Jewish state continues to degrade both group’s combat capabilities, and that Israel “will not last long.”

Fadavi also warns that Israel would “expose its existence to extinction if it made a mistake.”
