According to Salami, Iran has accumulated enough potential to "destroy the fake Zionist regime."

“This sinister regime must be erased from the world map at the second stage of the Islamic revolution, and this is no longer a desire or a dream, but an attainable goal,” the military official said.

In August, an official representative of the Iranian government, Ali Rabiya, said Israel should understand that its aggressive actions in the region would have consequences.
