With tensions running high between Iran and Israel, Iran says it has started preparing 320,000 graves to accommodate its slain enemies.
Iranian leaders have stepped up its belligerent rhetoric in the face of reports suggesting that Israel may attack its nuclear facilities. After threatening to shut down the Strait of Hormuz, the latest threat comes from the Iranian military.
Gen. Mir-Faisal Bagherzadeh , a senior
Iranian commander said:
Graves would be dug in Iran's border provinces, to provide for the burial of enemies in line with the Geneva Conventions. The burial of slain soldiers will be carried out decently and in little time. We do not wish the families of enemy soldiers to experience what Americans had to go through in the aftermath of the Vietnam War
.
There had been reports that Israel would attack Iran between the U.S. presidential election in November and the inauguration in January.
