Iran threatens to strike US and Israel if they make the ‘slightest error’

“If you make the slightest error, we will hit both of you,” said Maj. Gen. Hossein Salami at a ceremony marking the 40th day since the death of Quds Force head Qassem Soleimani.

Iran will strike the United States and Israel if they make even the “slightest error,” warned the commander-in-chief of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

“If you make the slightest error, we will hit both of you,” said Maj. Gen. Hossein Salami at a ceremony on Thursday marking the 40th day since the death of Quds Force head Qassem Soleimani.

The United States eliminated Soleimani in a strike at the Baghdad Airport on Jan. 3.

The remarks came the same week that Mohsen Rezaee, an Iranian politician and adviser to leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said, “We would raze Tel Aviv to the ground for sure. We have been looking for such a pretext. If they do something, we can use it as a pretext to attack Israel.”

“There is an understanding here that Israel has a problem with Hezbollah and that something needs to be done about it,” said the Dutch defense chief.
The terror group “must be eradicated,” said Israeli security expert Amir Avivi.
The convoys will travel toward Prison 10 near Kfar Yona, where some yeshivah students are being held.
“I have Iran on the ‘ropes,’ ready to go down for the fall,” said the U.S. president.
