Tehran - The commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guards said Monday that destroying arch-rival Israel has become an"achievable goal" thanks to his country's technological advances.
Salami's comments, while not unusual for Iranian officials, come amid particularly heightened international tensions over Iran's nuclear programme and a series of incidents that have raised fears of a confrontation between Tehran and its other main regional rival, Riyadh. The official IRNA agency also carried his remarks, but placed more emphasis on his assertion that Iran was growing stronger and would finally beat its foes despite"hostility" towards it.
He welcomed his ally US President Donald Trump's decision in May 2018 to pull out of the landmark nuclear accord between Tehran and world powers, arguing the deal would"enable Iran to threaten Israel's survival". In June 2018, supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei reaffirmed Tehran's long-held position that Israel is"a malignant cancerous tumour that must be removed and eradicated".
