IRAN THREATENS TO BLOW UP RECTUM OF ISRAEL IF ATTACKED BY US

Iran would "blow up the rectum" of Israel if it was attacked by the Jewish state or the U.S., a Revolutionary Guards official was quoted on Friday as saying.

"Even if one American or Zionist missile hits our country, before the dust settles, Iranian missiles will blow up the heart of Israel," the IRNA news agency quoted Mojtaba Zolnour as saying.

"The Zionist regime and the United States cannot risk attacking Iran," Zolnour said in the holy Shi'ite city of Qom, citing Iranian military and technological advances, Reuters reported.

Earlier this year, a senior commander said Iranian missiles could reach Israeli nuclear sites. Israel is believed to be the only nuclear-armed state in the Middle East.
