Khamenei aide says Iran to hit Tel Aviv if attacked

TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran's first targets will be Tel Aviv and U.S. shipping in the Gulf if it is attacked over its disputed nuclear program, an aide to its Supreme Leader was quoted as saying by an Iranian news agency on Tuesday.

"The Zionist regime is pressuring White House officials to attack Iran. If they commit such a stupidity, Tel Aviv and U.S. shipping in the Persian Gulf will be Iran's first targets and they will be burned," the students news agency ISNA quoted the aide, Ali Shirazi, as saying in a speech.
