Iranian Armed Forces May Destroy Tel Aviv and Haifa, Iranian Council of Experts member Ahmad Khatami said. "Our policy is a policy of deterrence. every day the rocket power of Iran is growing so that Israel can not fall asleep from this power. If he acts foolhardily, we raze Tel Aviv and Haifa to the ground, "Khatami quotes RIA Novosti as referring to IRIB. Israel previously attacked Syria sites of Iranian formations "Al-Quds". The Israeli military said that the strike was a response to the rocket fire from the Iranian Armed Forces, and stressed that the Russian military had been warned about this.

In response, Iran stated that it did not fire at Israel. Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman appealed to President Bashar Assad with an appeal to expel the Iranian military from the SAR, noting that they only harm Damascus, creating problems with their presence. On Tuesday, May 8, US President Donald Trump broke off a nuclear agreement with Iran. Experts and allies of the United States believe that this move by the leader of the United States will increase tensions in the Middle East.
