Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said Saturday that people in Tehran will 'pay a heavy price' if Iran continues with its missile attacks, warning that the Iranian capital 'will burn.' 'The Iranian dictator is turning Iran's citizens into hostages and creating a reality in which they – especially the residents of Tehran – will pay a heavy price for the criminal attacks on Israeli civilians,' Katz said after holding a meeting on the situation with leaders of the Israeli military. 'If Khamenei continues firing missiles at the Israeli home front, Tehran will burn,' Katz added.
