Another direct threat to attack Israel from the mullahs’ goons: Iran Threatens Israel if US Attacks.
TEHRAN, Iran - A top Revolutionary Guards commander said Tuesday that Israel would be Iran’s first retaliatory target if attacked by the United States.
Gen. Mohammad Ebrahim Dehghani also said Israel was not prepared to go war against Iran. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has repeatedly spoken out against Israel and threatened to wipe it “off the map.”
“We have announced that whenever America does make any mischief, the first place we target will be Israel,” the semiofficial Iranian Student News Agency quoted Dehghani as saying.
