Iran threatens Israel invasion

Iran is threatening an attack on Israel in response to reports of a possible Israeli strike on its nuclear facilities, an Iranian news agency says. The Iranian Fars news agency, which is associated with the Revolutionary Guards, said some 30,000 Syrians and Palestinians have been training to infiltrate Israel via the Syrian border to carry out suicide missions, Ynetnews reported Friday. Fars said the men have sent a petition to the Syrian government expressing their willingness to help it through "any crisis" that may arise with Israel. "They have asked the Syrian government for authorization to infiltrate occupied Palestinian land and carry out suicide missions against Israeli soldiers," the Fars report said. The news agency has printed previous similar reports about the recruitment of thousands of potential suicide bombers to fight against Israel, Ynetnews said.
