Yahya Rahim Safavi, the chief advisor of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, stated on Wednesday that his country owns tens of thousands of missiles, which could "cause great destruction to Israel."

Safavi responded to the statement made by Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon yesterday. "We will not let allow for a new front to be opened against Israel,” Ya’alon stated. “We will get our hands on anyone who plans or attempts to act against us.” He added that the IDF was capable of a determined and uncompromising retaliation along Israel's borders and also far away from them if needed.

"The Zionists and the US are aware of the power of Iran and Hezbollah," Safavi added. "They know that over 800 thousand missiles are aimed at Tel Aviv and Haifa."

The Iranian ambassador to the UN also remarked on Ya'alon's statement, saying, "His worlds indicate the barbaric character of the Zionist regime." The ambassador addressed a letter to the UN Security Council calling to condemn Ya'alon's statement.
