The Iranian army Chief-of-Staff, Major-General Hassan Fairouz Abadi on Wednesday addressed Israel's threats to carry out a strike against Iran and warned that Tehran would "punish Israel surprisingly" for any kind of "mistake".
According to the Major-General, "even though the likelihood for such an attack was low, we see the threat as a serious threat and are on full alert." He added that "America knows that a Zionist military strike in Iran would cause it major damages in addition to the damages caused to this regime." (Dudi Cohen)
