In a speech to Israel, the head of government threatened: “The slightest mistake on your part against the security of our country will be met with the destruction of the cities of Tel Aviv and Haifa.”

According to experts, the long-standing conflict between Israel and the Islamic Republic has intensified in recent weeks. The Israeli air force repeatedly bombed targets in the civil war country of Syria, which Tehran supports politically and militarily. An Iranian officer who was staying near Damascus as a military adviser was also reportedly killed. Iran has been expanding its influence in the region for years. Israel is concerned about Iran’s controversial nuclear program.

Iranian presidents have threatened archenemy Israel with destruction in the past. Hardliner Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who was president from 2005 to 2013, was particularly controversial. Raisi came to power in the summer of 2021. The conservative cleric’s style of government has since been widely criticized. April 18 is a holiday in the Islamic Republic in honor of the National Armed Forces, on which large military parades are held.
