Iranian army chief warns Israel will not survive next 25 years
Iran’s new army chief warns that the “Zionist regime” will not exist in 25 years.
Speaking in the city of Qom, General Abdolrahim Mousavi says that the “heroic spirit and morale” of Muslim fighters would wear Israel down.

“That we say that the Zionist regime will not see 25 years later doesn’t mean that it will certainly survive for 25 years,” he says according to the semi-official Fars News Agency.
“There is a prerequisite for this famous sentence, that is if the Zionist regime makes any wrong move, Haifa and Tel Aviv will be razed down to the ground,” he adds.
