The deputy commander of Iran's revolutionary guards warned Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday to "practice swimming in the Mediterranean" because he would be forced to abandon his country.

"I tell the prime minister of the Zionist regime to practice swimming in the Mediterranean because soon you will have no choice, but flee into the sea," Brigadier-General Hossein Salami said, according to the ultraconservative news website Fa

rs news.

Speaking at a rally of the volunteer Basij militia in the central Iranian city of Isfahan, Salami said Israel could be destroyed by Iran's Lebanese ally Hezbollah.

"They are not at the level of being a threat for us, Hezbollah is enough for destroying them," he said.
