Iran sends warning to Israel via US officials
January 27, 2015AP - Iran said Tuesday it has sent a warning to Israel through the United States over the recent killing of an Iranian general in an alleged Israeli airstrike, the official IRNA news agency reported.
The report quoted Deputy Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian as saying:
"We told the Americans that the leaders of the Zionist regime should await the consequences of their act."He added, "The Zionist regime has crossed our red lines."
Iranian Gen. Mohammad Ali Allahdadi, a senior commander in the Revolutionary Guard, was killed along with six Lebanese Hezbollah fighters in a Jan. 18 airstrike in the Syrian-controlled part of the disputed Golan Heights. Both Iran and Hezbollah blamed Israel for the strike; the Israeli government refused to comment.
Amirabdollahian says Iran delivered the message to U.S. officials via diplomatic channels. He did not elaborate.
"We tell (Israel) to await retaliation, but we will decide about its timing, place and the strength," he said, according to the IRNA report.
