Tehran: As tensions continue to flare between Iran and Israel, Tehran on Monday warned that it is preparing for the “largest and most intense missile attack in history on Israeli soil”, Iranian state media reported.
The warning came shortly after the Israeli Air Force bombed the office of Iran’s state broadcaster IRIB in Tehran. The strike was captured during a live show at the IRIB offices in the Iranian capital.
The attack on the state broadcaster came after Israeli defence minister Israel Katz stated that Tel Aviv will make “Iranian propaganda” disappear.
“The Iranian propaganda and incitement mouthpiece is on its way to disappear,” Katz was quoted as saying.
Katz also warned Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, saying that Israel will “strike everywhere” against the “Iranian director”.
Earlier in the day, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed that Israel “controls the skies over Tehran” and said his country is “on the way” to achieving its goals of destroying nuclear and ballistic missile threats from Iran.
Netanyahu also claimed that Israel is only hitting the Iranian regime’s targets despite having full freedom of movement in their skies, unlike Iran, which is attacking Israeli “civilians”.
This is a developing story and will be updated accordingly.
