Former Iranian "diplomat" says Israel "must be erased" and "death to America"

Genocidal threats from Iran's regime and state media show why they can never be allowed to have nuclear weapons.

A powerful answer to false comparisons between the 2003 Iraq War and the strikes against Iran's regime.

Context for the U.S.-Israel strike on Iran's regime:

For decades, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei has led calls for "Death to Israel," "Death to America," "Death to England," and to everyone else who opposes his oppressive regime.

*Behind this morning's surprise attack:*

The attack this morning was carried out simultaneously at several locations in Tehran, where senior officials from Iran's political-security leadership had gathered.

The IDF prepared for this with an operational plan developed over months, centered on Aman's intelligence effort to identify an operational opportunity the moment regime leaders convened. Additionally, the decision to strike in the morning rather than at night allowed Israel to achieve tactical surprise for the second time despite heavy Iranian preparations.

Thousands of hours of intensive intelligence work at Aman’s target factory succeeded in increasing the number of targets by hundreds of percent, so Israel is prepared to strike in Iran as needed. This was alongside precise location tracking of commanders and the senior Iranian leadership. Confidence in Israel's intelligence and operational capabilities is a significant factor in the U.S. decision to join the campaign, as well as the many achievements with the people as a whole.

The IDF is in multi-theater readiness for the campaign to expand to additional arenas and is currently assessing the results of the strike.

“Together we will bring Iran back to its glory days”

A senior Iranian official adds in a conversation with Al-Jazeera: Hitting our political leaders will not go unanswered, and all political targets have now entered the response circle. There are no red lines in defending our country, and attacks on schools and civilians will be responded to in the same way.
