Iran is now threatening to take action against the state of Israel.

According to The Washington Free Beacon:

Iran threatened… to light Israel on fire, marking the Islamic Republic’s latest threat to destroy the Jewish state amid an escalating proxy war between the countries.

An Iranian government-controlled Twitter account posted an image of Israel constructed of matches and included the warning, “Just try and you will see.” The message, also written in Hebrew, is a warning to Israel that if it attempts any attack on Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, the hardline regime will start a war. The pack of matches included in the image states, “ballistic matchbook,” an indication that Iran will use its enormous stockpile of advanced long-range missiles to target sites across Israel.

The threat comes as Iran continues to increase its nuclear work, including the enrichment of uranium—the key component in an atomic weapon—to the highest levels in its history. Iran is just a stone’s throw away from creating highly enriched uranium, which could power a bomb carried by the rogue country’s advanced ballistic missiles.

While the Biden administration has been working for months to ink a revamped version of the 2015 nuclear accord, Israel continues to sound the alarm on Tehran’s nuclear work. Israeli government leaders oppose the negotiations and worry the Biden administration is allowing Tehran to boost its atomic weapons program as negotiations drag on as the year comes to a close. The United States has already signaled that it is willing to unwind sanctions on Iran—providing the country access to billions of dollars in cash assets—if the hardline regime agrees to some restrictions on its nuclear program.

Iran and Israel have been in a proxy war with Iran using terrorists from Hamas and Hezbollah to attack Israel from Lebanon.
