Iran wants Israel and her Western allies to understand that if they continue interfering in Syria, it is the Jewish state that will pay the heaviest price.
"If Israel wants to survive a few more days, it has to stop this childish game," insisted Ali Shirazi, the liaison between Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei and the Iranian military's Quds Force.
Shirazi stressed that "Iran has the capability to destroy Israel and given the excuse, Tel Aviv and Haifa will be razed to the ground."
The threat comes just days after Israel bombed an Iranian-controlled air base in central Syria and US, British and French aircraft hit eight other targets belonging to Iran's allies in the Syrian regime.
The series of air strikes has raised significant fears of a full-scale war between Israel and the Western powers on one side, and Iran and Russia on the other.
As I think I've said on here before, the main powers in the middle east are not the USA and Russia. They are Turkey, Iran, Egypt and Israel. And of those, Turkey is the heavyweight. An economic and military powerhouse with a lot to lose in the event of a middle east war. I suspect Turkey will resist Iran if Iran tries to act out their hostility towards Israel.
Iran has a shabby economy. A perennial economic slump. Pretty hard to have prosperity when there are so many rules and a regime that governs totally by fear. And pretty hard to sustain war when you have neither money nor morale.
