Tehran : The commander of Iran’s revolutionary guards said Saturday that Israel should be aware of the range of Iranian missiles before contemplating a strike, Fars news agency reported.
“In case of a military attack against Iran, Israel should remember the range of our missiles and that the whole of Israel was within striking distance,” General Mohammad-Ali Jafari was quoted as saying by the news agency.
Iran’s medium-range missiles have a range over 2,000 km and are therefore capable of hitting any part of the Jewish state.
Asked by reporters whether Iran could also hit Israel’s nuclear plants, the general did not give a clear answer, saying only that Iran’s reply to any aggression would be “decisive and hard”.
Israel is the arch-foe of Iran and Tehran has not acknowledged the sovereignty of Israel since the 1979 Islamic revolution. Tehran also supports anti-Israeli militia groups such as the Palestinian Hamas and Hezbollah in Lebanon.
