TEHRAN - The IRGC chief has warned Israel that threats against Iran will only shorten the life of the Zionist regime, telling Tel Aviv officials to go ahead with their assassination operations against Iran if the previous ones led to more security for the occupation regime.

The remarks by Major General Hossein Sal came a few days after David Barnea, director of Israel’s spy agency Mossad, threatened to hit Iran’s “highest echelon … in the heart of Tehran.”

General Salam said while the Zionist regime is on the path to extinction it makes hollow threats against Iran.

“The Zionists are grappling with many problems, and signs of their decline are evident. Thus, they have resorted to empty rhetoric and threats to assassinate our commanders,” the top military commander said, according to Press TV.

“Go ahead if your previous assassination operations have increased your security. However, you should know that if you make threats against [Iran’s] security, we will have more options and your life will be cut short,” Salami said while addressing a group of persons active in cyberspace.
