Israel will be eliminated if it starts new war: Senior IRGC cmdr.
Tehran (KNA) - A senior commander of Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) says the Zionist regime of Israel will be eliminated and the entire occupied Palestinian territories will be retaken if it embarks on starting a new war.
The IRGC's second-in-command, Brigadier General Hossein Salami, made the remarks while speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the first national conference on the "defensive and security architecture of the Islamic Establishment" in Tehran on Monday.
"We announce that if Israel takes any step to start a new war, without a doubt, this war would be the same war, which would end in its elimination and the occupied territories will be retaken," Salami said.
The remarks came after Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned last week that Iran would face consequences for any threat against Tel Aviv.
During a public speech on January 21, Netanyahu said that Israel was "acting against Iran and the Syrian forces" that were helping what he called "the Iranian aggression."
