Hardline cleric warns Israel to fear Iranian missiles
An Iranian hardline cleric has warned Israel that Iran’s 1,250-mile missiles will land in Tel Aviv if the Jewish state attacks Iran, state-run television reported.
Ahmad Khatami, a middle-ranking cleric, said Israel should bear in mind its month-long war with Lebanon’s Hezbollah’s guerrillas before threatening Iran.
Boasting that Hezbollah’s missiles “turned Israel into a country of ghosts,” Khatami declared that Israel would face dire consequences if it “makes an iota of aggression against Iran”.
“They must fear the day Iran’s 1,250-mile range missiles land in Tel Aviv,” he said.
Khatami is a Friday prayer leader in Tehran and a member of the Assembly of Experts, a clerical panel that has the power to choose or dismiss Iran’s top leader, but he is not considered a government official.
