Excerpted from Times of Israel: Iranian
state TV on Friday ran a documentary featuring a computerized video of
Iran’s drones and missiles bombing Tel Aviv, Haifa, Ben Gurion Airport
and the Dimona nuclear reactor in a hypothetical retaliation for an
Israeli or American strike on the Islamic Republic.
Iranian drones and missiles are also shown carrying out simulated
strikes on the American aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, downing
American aircraft and striking American military targets in the Persian
Gulf.
The clip was broadcast amid a clear escalation of anti-American
rhetoric and even action by Iran: On Saturday, an Iranian admiral
announced that Iran had despatched warships to the North Atlantic, while
Iran’s spiritual leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei denounced the Americans
as liars who, while professing to be friends of Iran, would bring down
his regime if they could. He also said it was “amusing” that the US
thought Iran would reduce its “defensive capabilities.”
The film, entitled “The Nightmare of Vultures,” opens with Supreme
Leader Khamenei addressing military academy graduates in 2011, warning:
“Anybody who thinks of attacking the Islamic Republic of Iran should be
prepared to receive strong slaps and iron fists from the Armed Forces.”
“And America, its regional puppets and its guard dog – the Zionist
regime – should know that the response of the Iranian nation to any kind
of aggression, attacks or even threats will be a response that will
make them collapse from within,” the film shows him saying.Keep reading
