Israel issues warning to Iran amid tit-for-tat strikes: ‘Tehran will burn’

Israel issued a stark warning to Iran on Saturday as the two nations continue to exchange fire: Stop the strikes or "Tehran will burn."

“If [Iranian Supreme leader Ayatollah Ali] Khamenei continue to fire missiles at the Israeli home front, Tehran will burn,” Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz wrote on social platform X following a closed-door meeting, according to a translation.

"The Iranian dictator is making the residents of Tehran hostage to his criminal policies for the survival of his regime," he added.
