In a provocative speech, Tehran’s Friday Prayer Imam Mohammad Ali Movahedi Kermani suggested in case of US attack against Iran, his country can assail Israel’s nuclear reactor in Dimona region.
Dimona is located in the southern district of Israel, where the Shimon Peres Negev Nuclear Research center is also situated in the outskirt of the city.
In a part of his speech, Movahedi Kermani restated the threat President Hassan Rouhani made against the European parties of JCPOA. “From July 7, we will enrich uranium at any grade and form, and in any amount, we think necessary,” he noted.
