Defense Minister Israel Katz warns Iran’s leader, Ali Khamenei, that if missiles continue to be fired at Israel, “Tehran will burn.”
“The Iranian dictator is turning the citizens of Iran into hostages and creating a reality in which they, especially the residents of Tehran, will pay a heavy price for the criminal attack on Israeli civilians,” Katz says during an assessment with IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir, Mossad director David Barnea, and other top military officials.
“If Khamenei continues to fire missiles at the Israeli home front, Tehran will burn,” Katz warns.
