TEHRA, July 25 (KUNA) -- Iranian missiles will be launched at Israel,
should the Persian state come under foreign attack, said Commander of the
Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), Brigadier Mohammad Ali Jaafari, on
Saturday.
In a statement to local media, he said, "If we come under any attack by the
Zionist entity, our missiles will be launched at all areas of the occupied
Palestinian territories. We are capable of responding with accuracy to any
possible aggression."
Jaafari warned Israel against attacking his country, adding that "Israeli
nuclear facilities will be targeted by our missiles ... we face no obstacles
in attacking Israeli nuclear facilities, and they will definitely be a target
if we come under aggression."
Alluding to the Israeli missile test conducted a few days ago, he said,
"The Zionist entity may be able to intercept a limited number of our missiles
using its defense system, but it will be unable to respond when it stands
against the great number of missiles we will launch at it."
Ruled out the possibility of his country being subject to military threats,
he said, "The enemies must realize that the era of military threats has gone.
They are also well aware that the greater the military threats against our
people, the more they are in national harmony."
Jaafari added that military threats against Iran aimed only at forcing it
to concede to illegal demands of those he called "the enemies." (end)
