(1 Jul 2016) The deputy commander of Iran's powerful Revolutionary Guard, Gen. Hossein Salami, lashed out at Israel on Friday.
Speaking ahead of Friday prayers on al-Quds day, Salami warned Israel that "100,000 missiles are ready to be launched into the sky and hit the heart of the Zionist regime."
Gen. Hossein Salami also hit out at officials in Iraq's semi-autonomous northern region and other unnamed regional powers accused of provoking unrest along Iran's western and northwestern borders, where Iranian forces have clashed with Kurdish separatists.
Iran does not recognise Israel and has marked al-Quds day since the start of its 1979 Islamic revolution.
Al-Quds is a historic Arabic name for Jerusalem, and Iran says the day is an occasion to express support for the Palestinians and emphasize the importance of Jerusalem for Muslims.
