Iran launched two ballistic missiles Wednesday at targets that stood 1, 400 kilometers away, Iranian news agency Fars reported. The missiles reportedly bore the writing “Israel must be wiped out” in Hebrew.
Brig. General Amir Ali Haji Zada, commander of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard’s air corps, said Wednesday that Iran’s missiles belong to the Palestinian people, the Lebanese people, the Syrian people, the Iraqi people, the Islamic world, and all of the oppressed people of the earth.
Brigadier General Hossein Salami, Deputy commander of the Revolutionary Guard, told journalists on Wednesday that Israel would collapse very soon. He boasted about Iran’s large reserve of missiles that could be readily launched, toward a variety of targets and ranges.

Salami said that the accumulation of missiles was the result of sanctions imposed on Iran, and that the more sanctions were imposed, the more missiles would be manufactured. He added that the missiles were ready for launch if Iran’s enemies were to implement what he called their aggressive intentions.
News of these launches comes during US Vice President Joe Biden’s current visit in Israel, as part of his tour of the Middle East. The US State Department criticized the launch, saying it would bring the matter to the attention of the UN Security Council.
