Against the backdrop of a shifting balance of power in Syria, Iran and Israel appear perched on the brink of an all-out conflict, and Tehran is not trying to calm nerves.
Brigadier General Hossein Salami, the deputy commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, told Israel that “the finger is on the trigger and the missiles are ready.”
“At any given moment that the enemy conducts something against us, we will launch them,” he warned, as reported by Israel’s Haaretz.
“We know you very well, you are exposed to great harm because you have no depth, you are surrounded from every direction and you have nowhere to flee except to fall into the sea,” he said of Israel. “Don’t put faith in your military bases because they are in firing range and we can attack them and prevent them [from operating].”
Salami then turned his attention to the United States, referencing the current administration’s decision to withdraw troops from Syria.
“The United States has been defeated in Syria because the Americans did not have a clear strategy and policy, and every action they take makes them look ridiculous, like the operation they did a few days ago, because they have no strategy. Today we are much stronger than ever before in all areas.”
The rhetoric comes a week after Israel struck targets in Syria, killing a reported seven Iranians and potentially destroying a drone facility. The strike prompted speculation of retaliation, but Salami’s comments indicate Iran may be willing to wait on any response.
Responding to Iran’s threats, in the context of America’s looming withdrawal from the region and Iran’s consolidated foothold, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said “we are certain of our capabilities to protect ourselves with our own power.”
Nduka Aku Francis Take it easy man. When they wipe out each other, you will be for sure wipe out too. That is because WW III will be in progress.

This is not joke. Israel is biggest problem creater in the world. Killing innocent people who gave them shelter after genocide in german.
Whites are destroying peace around the world
genocide attitude? wow.. think before talk.. i cant imagine what kind of brain you have
It used to be 100%.
Ha ha ha. They can’t. If they can, they did it already the moment their citizens died in the hands of Israel.
They know it… the consequences are far worse than accepting what it is.
Israel is so blessed with people every in every corner of the planet who looks at them as God’s chosen people. And every government tows the wishes of their people.
Also they are so blessed that its enemies can not generate enough strenght. They themselves are cancelling each others out due to their own cultured hatred with each other… implanted even from childhood.
Yah you’re right. The current political alliances concerning Russia is for economic gains. But when the game is pushed toward religious war… the alliances will surely change in favor of Israel.
Frank are you serious that you would take posture in behalf of Israel when you’re just a "nigger" in there eyes. They are a people who have shown their hatred towards Black people and people of color. They dont want the Hebrew Israelites in a country that they’ve taken from the Palestinians. Brother do you have no shame or decency as a blackman.
Just how headless kids from Nigeria reasons. They don’t know anything about international politics or war.
Why didn’t Israel wipe out Hezbollah or Lebanon?
Blah blah blah!
Nonsense Israel has always protected herself from the past and no doubt can do it this time. your stupid comments will never save Iran from being wiped out.
We pray for peace only
ce excellent
