The interim Friday prayer leader of Tehran, Ayatollah Sayyed Ahmad Khatami, has warned Israel against launching a new act of aggression on Iran, saying that Tel Aviv would be turned into “a ghost town” if the Islamic Republic is attacked again.
“If you violate the ceasefire or repeat your madness, we will crush Israel with a devastating operation and turn Tel Aviv into a ghost town,” the cleric warned Israeli leaders during his sermon on Friday.
Ayatollah Khatami also praised the Iranian people for their unity during the 12-day war of aggression Israel launched in June.
“What the Iranian people demonstrated during the 12-day war against the enemy was a unified voice sent from the Islamic country to the world, and it was the voice of unity and solidarity, declaring to the world that if Iran is targeted by the enemy, people will stand for the Islamic Republic to the last breath,” he said.
Israel attacked Iran on June 13, killing more than one thousand people, including scientists and military commanders whom it assassinated in targeted strikes.
The Iranian Armed Forced responded powerfully to the regime, conducting missile and drone strikes on targets inside the occupied Israeli areas. The Armed Forces also launched a strong missile attack on a U.S. airbase in Qatar in response to Washington’s bombing of three Iranian nuclear sites on June 22, two days before the war was halted by a ceasefire.
