Israeli defence chief: "Tehran will go up in flames”

Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz has issued a stark warning to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, declaring that if Iran continues to launch attacks against Israel, “Tehran will burn.”

“The Iranian dictator is turning Iranian citizens into hostages and creating a reality in which they — especially the residents of Tehran — will pay a heavy price for the criminal assault on Israeli civilians,” Katz said, Caliber.Az reports, citing Israeli media.

He made the statement during a meeting with IDF Chief of General Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir, Mossad Director David Barnea, and other top military officials.

“If Khamenei continues to fire rockets at Israel’s rear, Tehran will go up in flames,” Katz warned.
