While President Obama spoke to Israeli students in Jerusalem today, nearly 1,000 miles away Iran's supreme leader issued a fiery threat to the coastal cities of Tel Aviv and Haifa.

"At times the officials of the Zionist regime (Israel) threaten to launch a military invasion,' said Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in a televised speech marking the Persian New Year, Nowruz."

But they themselves know that if they make the slightest mistake the Islamic Republic will annihilate Tel Aviv and Haifa to the ground,' he said.

The powerful cleric's strong words come a day after President Obama told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the U.S. would not stand in the way if Israel decided to take unilateral action.
