Iranian simulation: Missiles on Ben Gurion
While Geneva talks make progress towards agreement, Iranian state television broadcast simulated missile attack on Israel
Ynet
An agreement between the United States and Iran
over the latter's nuclear program seems imminent, but the charm
offensive in Geneva is not mirrored at home. In Tehran, the Iranian
government sent a different message with a broadcast on state television
of a simulated missile attack on Israel.
The hour-long documentary program included segments about the
capabilities of Iranian missiles and the possibility of their use in
response to foreign threats. The program included a video simulation of a
potential response by Iran to an Israeli strike on its nuclear
facilities.

Iranian simulation of missile attack |
The
video showed computer-animated launches of Iran's long-range Sejjil
ballistic missiles. The animations show Israel's air defense systems
intercepting a few missiles as others penetrate the protective layer and
destroy different strategic targets across Israel.
Among the targets shown are the Azrieli Towers and the Kirya in Tel Aviv, the IDF
base Tzfirin in central Israel, a generic missile launch site, Ben
Gurion Airport, and the nuclear reactor at Dimona. The targets were
circled on Google Maps, and the video finished with real pictures of
casualties from the Second Lebanon
War.
In 2012, Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei threatened Israel
with the destruction of Tel Aviv and Haifa – part of the usual
rhetoric employed by the Islamic regime. "At times, the Zionist entity
threatens a military attack, but they know that if they make the
smallest mistake, the Islamic republic will obliterate Tel Aviv and
Haifa."
