Iran has boasted it only needs seven minutes to hit a US airbase in Tel Aviv with a ballistic missile just days after Donald Trump put the country on notice over its missile testing.
Mojtaba Zonour, a former advisor to the Iranian Supreme Leader’s Representative at the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), threatened the President by saying any mistake made by the US would result in action.
‘The US army’s fifth fleet has occupied a part of Bahrain, and the enemy’s farthest military base is in the Indian Ocean but these points are all within the range of Iran’s missile systems and they will be razed to the ground if the enemy makes a mistake,’ he said.
‘And only seven minutes is needed for the Iranian missile to hit Tel Aviv.’
Last week, a top adviser to the Iranian supreme leader said the country will not yield to ‘useless’ US threats from ‘an inexperienced person’ over its ballistic missile programme.
Donald Trump said it was putting Iran ‘on notice’ over its ‘destabilising activity’ after it test-fired a cruise missile.
But Ali Akbar Velayati said, who is a senior counsel to Iran’s most powerful man Ayatollah Ali Khamenei hit back.
‘This is not the first time that an inexperienced person has threatened Iran,’ he said.
‘The American government will understand that threatening Iran is useless.’
