The President of Iran, Ebrahim Raisias he spoke at the funeral of the victims of the double attack ISIS near the grave of the former commander Qassem Soleimanisaid: “We know that Operation 'AlAqsa Flood' [nome dado pelo Hamas ao massacre de 7 de outubro] will lead to the end of the Zionist regime.”
Raisi blamed Israel for the ISIS suicide attacks in KermanMore than 100 people were killed, even though the Islamist terrorist group publicly claimed responsibility and there was no evidence of the Israeli government's involvement. US intelligence agencies have also ruled out Israeli involvement in the incidents.
Explosions during ceremonies honoring General Qassem Soleimani in southern Iran killed more than 100 people and injured 141, including children, some seriously. Raisi's insistence on blaming Israel, despite clear evidence to the contrary, shows Islamic radicals' lack of commitment to the truth in constructing their narratives.
The Ayatollahs' Historical Hostility to Israel
Since the Islamic Revolution in 1979, which brought the Ayatollahs to power in Iran, the country has maintained a consistently hostile attitude toward Israel. This aggressiveness took various forms, including direct threats, support for militant antiIsrael groups, and bellicose rhetoric.
The ongoing threat of Israel's destruction and support for groups like Hezbollah and Hamas since 2015 illustrate the Iranian regime's determination to wipe Israel off the map. The amplification of these statements in Iranian state media and its social networks underscores the importance Iran attaches to this narrative.
