Iran would destroy Israel and 32 US military bases in the Middle East if the Islamic Republic was attacked over its nuclear program, a senior official was quoted as saying on Saturday.
“The US knows full well that with the smallest move against Iran, Israel and 32 US military bases in the region would not be out of the reach of our missiles and would be destroyed,” the semi-official Fars News Agency quoted Mojtaba Zolnour as saying.
Zolnour is the deputy of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s representative in Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards.
Iran dismissed speculation that it risked being attacked by the United States, saying that a military strike would be “craziness.”
“Any aggression or military action against Iran is an idiocy whose repercussions would hurt all,” government spokesman Gholam Hossein Elham told reporters.
“I don’t think that such craziness and nonsense will prevail or is do-able militarily,” he added.
Iran has repeatedly vowed a crushing response to any aggression.
