“In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious and Most Merciful

The great nation of Iran!

At dawn today, the Zionist regime opened its dirty and bloody hand to crime in our beloved country and exposed its evil nature more than ever by attacking residential centers.

The regime must expect severe punishment.

The strong hand of the armed forces of the Islamic Republic will not abandon it, God willing.

In the enemy attacks, a number of commanders and scientists were killed. Their successors and colleagues will immediately return to their posts, God willing…

With this crime, the Zionist regime has prepared for itself a bitter and painful fate, and it will certainly accept it.”

  1. Obviously this is very thought-out propaganda, but I’m fascinated because he specifically said “exposed its evil nature more than ever by attacking residential centers.”- thus admitting that attacking residential centers is evil. As the meme says, “Ooh, now do Hamas!”

  2. The turban worn by Ayatollah Khamenei is specifically referred to as an *ʿAmāmeh* (in Persian: عَمامه). Maybe the IDF can get a few grams of explosive powder under it a-la the beeper in Syria.
