Iranian official claims “we have the ‘father of all bombs.”

Seyyed Abdolrahim Mousavi, an Iranian military officer currently acting as the Commander-in-Chief of the Islamic Republic of Iran Army, issued a menacing statement against the Jewish state hours before Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to bring up the ever-imminent threat posed on Israel by Tehran in his encounter with US President Donald Trump.

The two are slated to meet at the UN for the General Assembly’s 72nd session held at the NY headquarters.

“We will destroy the Zionist entity at lightning speed, and thus shorten the 25 years it still has left,” Iranian media quoted Mousavi as saying in reference to a recurring threat by Iran and its Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei to take down the State of Israel in the next quarter century.

“I warn the [Zionist] entity not to make any stupid move against the Islamic Republic of Iran,” he threatened. “Every [such] stupid act will [make us] turn Tel Aviv and Haifa into dust.”

Mousavi also said that “the world will not forget the crimes [committed] by this arrogant Zionist offical.” According to Iranian news agency Tasnim, Mousavi was talking about an Israeli official who had allegedly made “irresponsible declarations” concerning Iran’s presence in the conflict-addled Syria.

“He [the official] should bow his head down and calculate how much longer he has to live. Every mistake made by this [Zionist] entity will make it last less than the 25 years it has left, and Iran will destroy this entity with lightning speed.”

He then reiterated the warning that Israel won’t proceed to exist for more than the next 25 years.
