Israel warns 'Tehran will burn' if Iran attacks again
Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz on Saturday issued a stark warning that "Tehran will burn" if Iran continues launching missile attacks on Israeli territory, as tensions between the two long-standing adversaries escalated into a second day of hostilities.
“The Iranian dictator is turning the citizens of Iran into hostages,” Katz said in a statement, “and creating a reality in which they—especially the residents of Tehran—will pay a heavy price for the criminal attacks on Israeli civilians.”
He added, “If [Iran’s Supreme Leader] Ayatollah Ali Khamenei continues to launch missiles at Israeli cities, Tehran will burn.”
The remarks come amid heightened conflict in the region, following a series of cross-border strikes and growing fears of a broader war.
