Gen. Seyed Hassan Firouzabadi threatens to “destroy the illegal Zionist nest,” if Israel attacks.
Gen. Seyed Hassan Firouzabadi, Iran’s chief of staff, threatened to “bulldoze” and “destroy the illegal Zionist nest,” if Israel attacks the Islamic Republic, Iran’s official news agency INRA reported on Saturday.
Firouzabadi made the comments in a Nowruz speech to military officials, during which he said Iran would “flatten” strategic locations in Israel if attacked, INRA said.
The government’s official Iran newspaper also carried the story on its front page Sunday.
Nowruz was almost three weeks ago, and the state media’s decision to print the story comes as critical negotiations with the West over Iran’s nuclear program loom and amid mounting reports that the US and its European allies may demand the Islamic Republic close and dismantle its heavily-fortified Fordo nuclear plant, near Qom.
