Iranian\u00a0President Ebrahim Raisi<\/a>\u00a0threatened to destroy Tel Aviv and Haifa at the slightest provocation in a speech he delivered during the country\u2019s National Army Day parade that also fell on Israel\u2019s Holocaust Remembrance Day.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe slightest mistake against our country will be responded with a harsh response and will be accompanied by the destruction of Haifa and Tel Aviv,\u201d Raisi said according to an English language\u00a0translation of his speech<\/a>\u00a0posted on his office\u2019s web page.<\/p>\n

“The extra-regional and American forces should leave the region as soon as possible because it is in their own interest and in the interest of the region.”<\/b><\/p>\n

Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi<\/cite><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cThe enemies of the Islamic Revolution, especially the Zionist Regime, have received the message of the power of the armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n

Raisi also called on United States forces to leave the Middle East stating: extra-regional forces, especially American forces, should leave the region as soon as possible because they threaten the security of the region and have not and will not provide security for the nations of the region.\u201d He stressed that it was the forces of the Islamic Republic that provided stability to the region.<\/p>\n

He spoke amid rising tensions between Israel and the Islamic Republic, as the IDF has struck at Iranian-based targets and Tehran is believed to be behind the rocket fire by Hamas against Israel\u2019s southern and northern border earlier this month.<\/p>\n

In an unusual move, Israel\u2019s security cabinet met on Holocaust Remembrance Day, and according to KAN, it discussed threats against Israel from the north.<\/p>\n

Cohen visits Azerbaijan<\/h3>\n

On Tuesday, Foreign Minister Eli Cohen landed in Azerbaijan for a two-day visit. It was his first trip abroad since taking office and his first to the Shia Muslim country that neighbors Iran and Russia and from which Israel receives 30% of its oil.<\/p>\n

Iran has been uneasy over the growing\u00a0ties between Baku and Jerusalem<\/a>. In a briefing with reporters on Monday, Iran\u2019s Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kan\u2019ani emphasized the strength of Iran\u2019s relationship with Azerbaijan, explaining that Israel\u2019s initiative to get closer to Baku was part of an overall strategy of stoking regional discord, according to Press TV.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince the Zionist regime\u2019s so-called national security and survival strategies are anchored in creating and stoking instability and insecurity across the [West Asia] region and in the Muslim world, its mischief will not be exclusively directed at Tehran-Baku ties,\u201d Kan\u2019ani said.<\/p>\n

While in Baku, Cohen will meet with Azeri President Ilham Aliyev and Foreign Minister Jeyhun Bayramov, the latter of whom just visited Israel at the end of March when the country open its first-ever Embassy in Israel. Azerbaijan is the first Shia Muslim country to do so.<\/p>\n

The two countries also enjoy strong security cooperation and Israel is an important arms supplier to Azerbaijan. Security experts have also speculated that the country\u2019s air bases could be used by Israel to launch an aerial attack against Iranian nuclear targets.<\/p>\n

Last month Azerbaijan\u2019s newly installed Ambassador to Israel Mukhtar Mammadov told\u00a0The Jerusalem Post<\/em>, that his country would not allow its airbases to be used to strike at Iran.<\/p>\n

\u201cAzerbaijan is a strategic partner for Israel due to its geographical location and the fact that it is the only Shia Muslim-Shiite country to open an embassy in Israel,\u201d Cohen said after landing.<\/p>\n

To help strengthen these ties, his delegation included representatives from 20 Israeli firms dealing in cyber and homeland security as well as in water management and agriculture.<\/p>\n

Prior to his departure Cohen spoke with Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang about Israeli and regional concerns regarding Iran\u2019s nuclear program. Cohen asked that China use the ties between Beijing and Tehran to sway the Islamic Republic to halt its push to develop atomic weapons.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe international community must act immediately to prevent the Ayatollah regime in Tehran from obtaining nuclear capabilities,\u201d Cohen said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe State of Israel will act in any way to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear capability. Iran is a focus of instability and its regional activities harm the entire Middle East. Wherever Iran is, it brings with it violence, terrorism, poverty and misery,\u201d Cohen stated.<\/p>\n

China has recently increased its activity in the region, brokering a deal by which Saudi Arabia and Iran established diplomatic ties.<\/p>\n

Cohen also spoke on Monday with US Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, explaining that strong cooperation between their two countries was needed to prevent a nuclear Iran. He stressed the importance of keeping a credible military threat on the table.<\/p>\n

On Monday night at the national Holocaust Remembrance Ceremony Prime Minster Benjamin Netanyahu linked the Nazi\u2019s final solution in which six million Jews were killed during the Holocaust with Iran\u2019s threat to annihilate Israel.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe victory of the past does not alone guarantee the victory of the future… That is why we firmly fight any nuclear agreement with Iran, which would pave its way to nuclear weapons,\u201d Netanyahu said.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, Tobias Tunkel who directs the German Foreign Ministry\u2019s Middle East and North Africa division condemned Raisi\u2019s comments about destroying Tel Aviv and Haifa.<\/p>\n

\u201cCalling for the extinction of Israeli communities on #YomHaShoa is obnoxious and totally unacceptable,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
