Iranian military official threatens Israel

A senior Iranian military official has described missile shields deployed in the region to protect Tel Aviv as “inadequate”, saying all of Israel is within the Iran's missiles reach, Press TV reports.

“These missile shields which they have deployed in Turkey, occupied Palestine, Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates cannot hit all our missiles,” Brigadier General Yahya Rahim-Safavi, who is also senior military adviser to the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, said on Wednesday.

“They may hit some of our missiles, but the number of our missiles is so large that they will not be able to target our missiles,” Iranian media quoted Rahim-Safavi as saying.

The Iranian commander added that all of Israel is within Iran's missile reach.
