Iran is ready to launch nuclear missiles at Israel, according to the second-in-command of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, Hossein Salami.
“Do not trust your air bases. They are within the range of fire,” Salami warned on Friday.
“Our fingers are on the trigger and the missiles are ready to launch. The moment the enemy decides to act against us, we will launch them.”

“We have learned ways to overcome our enemies, and we can harm the enemies’ vital interests anywhere we want,” Salami added, in response to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s assertion earlier on Friday that “the IDF is prepared for any [threat from Iran].”
Newsweek.com reports: Iran supports an independent Palestinian state on Israeli territory, some of which has been annexed without international recognition. Israel argues that Iran has threatened its national security through its support for various, mostly Shiite Muslim militias, especially the Lebanese Hezbollah, which regularly threatens and sometimes clashes with Israel. Hezbollah, considered a terrorist organization by the U.S, Israel and some of their allies, was formed with Iranian support in the 1980s in order to tackle an Israeli occupation of Lebanon, and the powerful paramilitary group has since fought two major wars with Israel.
Hezbollah, along with other Iran-backed militias from Afghanistan, Iraq and beyond, has recently been focused on battling rebels and jihadis trying to overthrow the Syrian government, which has mostly overcome a 2011 uprising sponsored by the West, Turkey and Gulf Arab countries. These Tehran-sponsored fighters have played a crucial role in defeating the Islamic State militant group (ISIS) in Iraq and Syria.
With ISIS largely decimated, Iran’s growing footprint in the Middle East has become a major source of concern for Israel, as well as for fellow U.S. ally Saudi Arabia. Last week, Israeli jets killed several Iranians when they bombed a Syrian air base, and Israeli officials have threatened more attacks. Salami said Friday that he was prepared to go to war, one that would not be as limited in nature as previous conflicts.
“We know you very well. You are very weak. You have no depth. Every point of the land you occupy will be reached by flames from the North and the West,” Salami said, as reported by the semi-official Fars News Agency. “Listen, any war that occurs, be certain that it will lead to your elimination.”
“There is no way for you but the sea. Do not trust your air bases, the flames will reach them and they will quickly be made useless,” he added. “Do not leave it to America, Britain and France. By the time they arrive, you won’t be there. So be careful of your behavior and do not make risky calculations.”
The U.S., U.K. and France launched a series of airstrikes against Syrian state-run facilities they claimed were involved in the production of chemical weapons. The attack came nearly a week after a suspected toxic gas attack that they believed Bashar al-Assad was behind. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he “fully supports” the strikes in a statement released Sunday. Russia and Iran, however, have cast doubt on their ally’s culpability and condemned the U.S.-led operation in Syria.
In a speech Sunday, Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah criticized the attack, telling followers the operation failed to achieve its goals.
“If it was to submit and blackmail, it failed. If it was to frighten and break the morale of the Syrian people and their allies, this also failed and the opposite happened. If it was to lift the morale of the militants, the attack frustrated and disappointed them according to what their leaders stated,” Nasrallah said, according to Hezbollah-affiliated Lebanese outlet Al Manar.
“Finally, if their goal was to change the equation for the benefit of Israel, the Israelis were also frustrated and stated that Trump’s beautiful rockets got a zero result,” he added.

Israel likes to go around threatening it’s neighbors, and then rely on the U.S. to fight their battles. No more wars for Israel. If they have a beef with Iran, then they can fight Iran all by themselves! Iran has not done anything to U.S. since the Iran hostage crisis back in 1979. Israel, on the other hand, has committed several acts of terrorism against the U.S., namely the attack on the USS Liberty for which they have never apologized for, nor paid any reparations to the families of the U.S. soldiers they killed that were aboard that ship. Instead we send Israel billions of dollars every year because they have the U.S. government in their back pocket.
About time Netanyahu’s Israel gets bombed if they step up their wet dreams of greater Israel nonsense.
Go ahead!
Go for it.
