MidnightWatcher – Prophecy in Motion

By Yeganeh Torbati – “(Reuters) – Iran announced missile tests on Sunday and threatened to wipe Israel ‘off the face of the earth’ if the Jewish state attacked it, brandishing some of its starkest threats on the day Europe began enforcing an oil embargo and harsh new sanctions…

Israel says it could attack Iran if diplomacy fails to force Tehran to abandon its nuclear aims. The United States also says military force is on the table as a last resort, but U.S. officials have repeatedly encouraged the Israelis to be patient while new sanctions take effect.

Announcing three days of missile tests in the coming week, Revolutionary Guards General Amir Ali Hajizadeh said the exercises should be seen as a message ‘that the Islamic Republic of Iran is resolute in standing up to … bullying, and will respond to any possible evil decisively and strongly.’

Any attack on Iran by Israel would be answered resolutely: ‘If they take any action, they will hand us an excuse to wipe them off the face of the earth,’ said Hajizadeh, head of the Guards’ airborne division, according to state news agency IRNA.” Read more.
