Salami added “We will confront the enemy in far-away places and even in places where they could not imagine”, adding, “We have whipped and slapped America hard many times and inflicted defeats on the U.S. during history.”
Another commander said on Monday that Iran would demolish cities in Israel to the ground if the United States attacked the Islamic Republic.

But if they attack us, we will raze Tel Aviv and Haifa to the ground," Yadollah Javani, the IRGC deputy head for political affairs was quoted as saying by state news agency IRNA.
He was also speaking at a rally celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Islamic revolution.
