Netanyahu tells Iran attacking Israeli cities a ‘terrible mistake’
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responds to threats by an Iranian military leader who warned earlier today the Islamic Republic would raze major Israeli cities if the US attacked it.
“I don’t ignore the threats from the Iranian regime, but I’m also not intimidated by them,” Netanyahu says in a Hebrew-language video uploaded to social media.
“If this regime makes the terrible mistake and tries to destroy Tel Aviv or Haifa, it won’t be successful, and it will be the last anniversary of their revolution they will ever celebrate.”
“They should take that into account,” he says.
Iranian commander Yadollah Javani made the remarks at a rally marking the 40th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution.
