Israel will be destroyed in half an hour if the United
States attacks Iran, a senior Iranian parliamentarian said on Monday, according
to the semi-official Mehr news agency.
Weeks of tensions culminated last month in US President
Donald Trump’s last-minute decision to call off planned strikes on Iran after
Tehran downed a US drone. Washington also accused Iran of being behind attacks
on ships in the Gulf, which Tehran denies.
“If the US attacks us, only half an hour will remain of
Israel’s lifespan,” Mojtaba Zolnour, the chairman of the Iranian parliament’s
National Security and Foreign Policy commission said on Monday, according to
Mehr.
