Iran threatens to destroy Israel if it launches a major attack 0
(Dan Tri) – Tehran warns that if Israel launches a major attack on Iranian territory, things will change significantly and Israel will be destroyed.

`If Israel again makes a mistake and attacks Iran’s sacred land, the situation will be different and they are not sure what is left,` Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi told Pakistani scholars and cultural elites in
Mr. Raisi added that Iran had punished Israel for attacking the Iranian consulate building in Damascus, Syria earlier this month.
Relations between Iran and Israel escalated recently after Israel was accused of a missile attack, leveling Iran’s consulate building in Damascus on April 1.
Tehran then responded by firing more than 300 missiles and drones at Israeli territory on April 14.
The US and other countries have simultaneously called on Israel and Iran to reduce tensions and avoid the crisis from getting out of control.
The New York Times on April 22 quoted three unnamed Israeli officials as saying that Israel initially planned to respond on April 15, meaning just one day after Iran’s attack.
However, according to some sources, after a phone call between President Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel decided to postpone responding while calculating more carefully.
On the morning of April 19, the Israeli army `launched a small number of missiles` from fighter jets approaching western Iran.
The country’s Air Force then proactively canceled a missile aimed at Iran when it realized that the first missile had hit the target of the S-300 air defense radar system in the city of Isfahan, central Iran, to avoid causing major damage.
However, until now Israel has not publicly acknowledged attacking Iranian territory.
According to the New York Times, if Israel’s military response is larger in scale and causes more damage, it will cause Iran to continue to respond to Israel even stronger than the first attack.
