IRGC: U.S. does not have courage to shoot single bullet at Iran

Tehran "will raze Tel Aviv and Haifa" to the ground if Washington attacks Iran, Deputy Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps for Political Affairs Brigadier General Yadollah Javani said during a rally celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Islamic revolution.

"The United States does not have the courage to shoot a single bullet at us despite all its defensive and military assets. But if they attack us, we will raze Tel Aviv and Haifa to the ground," IRNA cited Javani as saying.

The commander's statement comes after earlier in the day the IRNA cited an IRGC spokesman who stated that Tehran's military forces will "firmly punish" aggressors who attack Iran.
