Iran's finger on trigger to destroy Israel, warns senior Revolutionary Guards commander

A senior member of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards warned Tuesday that the Islamic Republic could destroy Israel and any spot under its control. He also reiterated Iran's s assertion that it is not behind the arms shipment that the Israel Navy seized last week, allegedly en route to Gaza.

"Today we can destroy every spot which is under the Zionist regime's control with any volume of fire power fight from here," Lieutenant Commander of the Iranian Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Brigadier General Hossein Salami said Tuesday at a conference in Tehran, Fars News reported.

“Islam has given us this wish, capacity and power to destroy the Zionist regime so that our hands will remain on the trigger from 1,400km away for the day when such an incident (confrontation with Israel) takes place,” he added.
