REPORT: ‘Tehran Will Burn’ Unless Iran Stops Firing Missiles, Israel Defense Minister Says
Israel’s Defense Minister Israel Katz warned Saturday that ‘Tehran will burn’ if Iran continues launching missile attacks against Israel, according to reports.
An assessment meeting was held with high-ranking Israeli military officials Saturday where Katz expressed concern for attacks directed at Israeli citizens from Iran.
The Iranian dictator is turning Iranian citizens into hostages and creating a reality in which they, especially the residents of Tehran, will pay a heavy price for the criminal attack on Israeli civilians,” Katz reportedly said during the meeting with senior military officials, according to a Saturday post on X.

After the meeting, Katz, while talking with the Israeli army’s chief of staff, warned that “If (Iranian Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali) Khamenei continues to fire missiles at the Israeli home front — Tehran will burn,” according to Politico.
This comes after Iran conducted a counterattack against Israel Friday in which dozens of missiles were launched toward Israel, and explosions were heard above numerous cities.

The Iranian missiles killed at least three people and wounded around 70, mostly in and around the area of Tel Aviv, the outlet reported. Seven soldiers were also wounded when a missile hit central Israel.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Friday that his administration’s goal is to prevent Israel’s destruction and stop Iran from developing the weapons to do so.

“Our goal is to thwart a double threat from Iran to destroy the state of Israel,” Netanyahu said.
“We cannot afford for them to be able to build production capabilities for 20,000 missiles, so we have taken action to destroy their production capabilities, and that is what the IDF is doing now.
