Iran's New Threat: "The Blow is Imminent"

Iranian propaganda and threats against Israel persist, with Iran displaying a new poster in Palestine Square in central Tehran, warning of an imminent attack on Israel.

The regime of the Ayatollahs is continuing its psychological warfare efforts against Israel. Part of the regime’s routine propaganda efforts include printing large posters and hanging them around Tehran, often with poor Hebrew text intended to create a sense of threat. The latest poster features Sinwar, who replaced Haniyeh after his death, and warns, "You received a military blow on October 7 and a political blow on August 7. The next blow is close."

The reference to October 7 is clear, but the Iranian intention behind the political blow on August 7 is less obvious. It may refer to Sinwar’s appointment as Haniyeh’s successor, which occurred the day before August 7. The regime has displayed several threatening posters against Israel over the past years.

Currently, the Iranians are threatening an attack on Israel following the killing of Haniyeh in Iran, within a police-protected facility, and the killing of a senior Hezbollah official in southern Lebanon. However, it remains unclear what the nature of the attack will be or when, if at all, it might occur.
