Iran threatens World War III
Brigadier General Amir-Ali Hajizadeh, commander of the IRGC's aerospace division, also told state-owned al-Alam TV that Iran would target US bases in the region should Israel attack.
He warned that an Israeli strike could lead to a wider conflict, saying, "It's impossible to imagine an independent war between Iran and the US or the Zionist Regime [Israel]," but rather it is more likely that other regional countries would side with Iran or Israel in case of war.
“One should not imagine that the countries in the region would declare neutrality if a war breaks out," he added according to a report by Iran's Press TV.
Also on Sunday, Deputy Commander of the IRGC Brigadier General Hossein Salami said Iran is no longer concerned about threats from Israel.
"We have crossed the line of worrying about threats from the Zionist Regime [Israel]," Salami said according to Sepah News, the IRGC's official news site, adding that in its wars over the last decade Israel has encountered harsh retaliation from the Islamic Republic's 'regional branches', and is no longer a threat to Iran.
"If the Zionists really do strike Iran, it would provide a historic opportunity for the Islamic Revolution to wipe [Israel] off the face of the earth," he said, adding that Iran would then "reclaim the lands occupied by Israel for the Palestinians."
Salami then said that an Iranian infantry battalion would be able to "break Israel's back" within a day. "The Regime [Israel] is only 24 kilometers wide in parts," he explained.There's going to be a war folks. That's reality. Get your prayers in on Tuesday night and Wednesday.

"Breaking our back" with infantry? Nice quote, but it's not 1917, and our Air Force, artillery, and armor might have something to say about it while our submarines are simultaneously reducing Tehran to bite sized pieces.
Yes Carl.
I agree the 'Mother of All Battles' is coming.
How the heck is an Iranian infantry battalion going to get to Israel without being spotted a long long way off and decimated? Through Syria.
But, in any event, this does suggest that any Israeli per-emptive attack has to short-circuit the foreplay and start as a nuclear attack--and if this is to be a referendum on who is going to be wiped off the face of the earth, the Jewish target list can add Pakistan to the list if there's a problem.
