“What does that imply? They add one other 3,000 kilometres they usually’ve obtained beneath their weapons…New York Metropolis in goal, Washington, Boston, Miami, Mar-a-Lago”, he mentioned, referring to the Florida residence of US President Donald Trump.
Iran’s overseas minister, Abbas Araghchi, condemned the feedback, saying Israel was attempting to painting Iran’s defensive capabilities as a menace.
