Iran will destroy the United States, Israel and Saudi Arabia if they cross Tehran’s red lines, the head of the elite Revolutionary Guards Hossein Salami said in a televised speech on Monday.
“We have shown restraint … we have shown patience towards the hostile moves of America, the Zionist regime (Israel) and Saudi Arabia against the Islamic Republic of Iran … but we will destroy them if they cross our red lines,” said Hossein Salami.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned Sunday that Iran was planning “additional attacks” and called on the international community to pressure Iran and to “support Israel when it is acting against this aggression.”
Netanyahu also discussed Iran while on a military tour of Israel’s north. Israel works to thwart “deadly weapon transfers from Iran to Syria” and “Iran’s attempts to turn Iraq and Yemen into bases for launching rockets and missiles at Israel,” he said while touring Mt. Avital, accompanied by Defense Minister Naftali Bennett.
“We are implementing all the necessary activities in order to prevent Iran’s entrenchment in the area,” Netanyahu said
Netanyahu’s remarks followed those of U.S. Central Command chief General Kenneth McKenzie over the weekend, who spoke about the probability of a large-scale attack by Iran in the Middle East. “My judgment is that it is very possible they will attack again,” General McKenzie said in an interview ahead of an international security conference on Saturday.
