Iran’s President Vows to Completely Destroy Israel in Response to Potential Invasion
In a bold and threatening statement, Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi has vowed to completely destroy Israel should the country proceed with even the “tiniest invasion” of Iran. The warning came during an annual army parade where Raisi spoke of a “massive and harsh” response to any Israeli aggression.
The tension between the two countries escalated after Iran launched hundreds of missiles and drones at Israel over the weekend in retaliation for an attack on Iran’s embassy compound in Syria that killed 12 people, including two Iranian generals. While Iran blames Israel for the attack, Israel has not claimed any involvement.
Raisi emphasized that Saturday’s attack was just a limited one, and if provoked further, Iran would not hesitate to carry out a bigger and more devastating attack, leaving nothing from the Zionist regime. The White House has responded to the situation by announcing new sanctions on Iran following the attack against Israel.
Israel, with the help of the U.S., the United Kingdom, Jordan, and other nations, successfully intercepted nearly every missile and drone launched by Iran, boasting a 99% success rate through the use of its defense systems. Despite this, Israel has vowed to respond to Iran’s aggression, although details of their plan remain undisclosed.
The military council in Israel has met to decide on future actions, while allies have urged all sides to avoid further escalation. The longstanding shadow war between Israel and Iran has intensified in recent months, with Iran’s support of Hamas leading to deadly terror attacks in Israel.
Saturday’s attack marked the first direct Iranian military strike on Israel, raising concerns about the potential for further conflict between the two nations. As tensions continue to rise, the world watches closely to see how the situation will unfold.
