Referring to Tehran's previous pledge to obliterate Israel, the Jewish state's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned earlier this year that Iran is within range of Israeli warplanes.
Mojtaba Zannour, chairman of the Iranian parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Committee, has reiterated his threat that israel “will not live for longer than twenty or thirty minutes” if Tel Aviv or Washington “makes a mistake”.
“We have employed a strategy of asymmetric warfare. What does this mean? It means making our enemy's strengths ineffective or less effective – taking advantage or their weaknesses. We have focused and worked on these things. The [Iranian] regime has created deterrence,” Zannour told Iran's Channel 5 news outlet.
Earlier this year, he told the Tehran-based Arabic language news TV network al-Alam that if the US attacks Iran, “only half an hour will remain of Israel's lifespan”.
In the Channel 5 interview, he referred to “36 American military bases in the [Middle East] region”, saying that Iranian unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are “online and are tracking every change in the forces at the US bases in the area.
“If they shoot, they will be hit. When the [Supreme Iranian] Leader [Ayatollah Ali Kamenei] says that the days of hit-and-run are over, he is not speaking out of emotion or excitement. His words are backed up by what has already been done,” Zannour underscored.
