Defense Minister Israel Katz threatens that Tehran’s residents will suffer in retaliation for Iranian missile strikes that have caused widespread damage to Israeli residential areas.

Axar.az informs, citing the Times of Israel, “The arrogant dictator of Tehran has become a scared murderer who fires at Israel’s civilian home front in order to deter the IDF from continuing to carry out attacks that are destroying his capabilities,” Katz says in a statement, apparently referring to Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.

“The residents of Tehran will pay the price, and soon,” he vows, in what appears to be a threat to target Iranian civilians in kind.
