Israel Has No Defense Against 100,000 Hezbollah Rockets

Hossein Salami, the vice commander of Iran’s Revolutionary
Guards, recently gave a speech full of threats aimed directly at Israel,
referring to the Palestinians as Iran’s main tool against their true enemy: the
United States.
“Seventy years have passed since the policy of England
and America planted in the Islamic world an accursed and criminal tree [i.e.
Israel],” Salami began, in the speech on Quds (Jerusalem) Day last month that
was just translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI). “For 70
years, this poisoned dagger has been embedded in the body of the Islamic ummah,
and all the problems of the Islamic world stem from the existence of the false,
counterfeit, historically rootless, and identity-less regime named Israel.”
Salami gave the speech in the city of Mashhad to
commemorate Quds Day, officially called International Quds Day, an annual event
held on the last Friday of Ramadan that was initiated by Iran in 1979 to
express support for the Palestinians and oppose Zionism and Israel. In his
speech, he describes Israel as a tool, bringing the threat of the US into the
heart of the Islamic world.
“[Israel] brings the range of America’s missiles against
the Islamic world 12,000 kilometers closer, and becomes a tool for imposing
America’s policy against the Islamic world,” Salami said. “[Ayatollah Khomeini]
transformed the heart of Iran with the great [Islamic] Revolution, [and set] a
new power against the evil of the arrogance [i.e. the U.S.], against the
supporters of the Zionist regime, and against this regime itself.”
He emphasized that due to its size, Israel has no defense
against the Iranian threat.
“The Islamic Revolution created a mighty power called
Hizbullah, that today, as the Zionist regime itself acknowledges, has over
100,000 missiles ready for launch,” Salami said. “The Zionist regime has no
strategic-defensive depth, and in some places, the breadth of this regime is
barely 34 km, and in order to destroy it, it will take only one ‘Jerusalem
operation’ to destroy it.”
During the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq war, Iran referred to its
operations against Iraq as “Jerusalem operations.” Another such operation
against Israel is imminent, Salami warned.
“Today an international Islamic army has been formed in
Syria, and the voices of the Muslims are heard near the Golan,” Salami said.
“Orders are awaited, so that the custom of God vis-à-vis the eradication of the
evil regime [Israel] will land and the life of this regime will be ended for
good. The life of the Zionist regime was never in danger as it is
now.”
In his speech, Salami identified the Palestinians as
Iran’s primary weapon against its enemies.
“Once, the Palestinians fought with stones and
slingshots, but today they are armed with missiles,” Salami said. “Every regime
site is today under fire from the missile launchers. The farther and more
deeply [we look], the more we see that there is a politically and militarily
powerful regime in the world that raises the flag of fighting evil. This regime
is Iran.”
Iran is considered the head of Shiite Islam. As such,
Salami called on young Muslims around the world to join in fighting against
Israel and the US.
“Iran invites the Muslims to jihad, and the spirit of
jihad today breathes in the body of the Muslim nations. The young Muslims who
care are proud of fighting the Zionists, the Americans, and their allies, and
becoming a martyr is an honor for them. This is our main might.”
