Iranian state TV on Friday ran a
documentary featuring a computerized video of Iran’s drones and
missiles bombing Tel Aviv, Haifa, Ben Gurion Airport and the Dimona
nuclear reactor in a hypothetical retaliation for an Israeli or American
strike on the Islamic Republic.
Iranian
drones and missiles are also shown carrying out simulated strikes on
the American aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, downing American
aircraft and striking American military targets in the Persian Gulf.
The clip was broadcast amid a clear escalation
of anti-American rhetoric and even action by Iran: On Saturday, an
Iranian admiral announced that Iran had despatched warships to the North Atlantic, while Iran’s spiritual leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei denounced the Americans as liars
who, while professing to be friends of Iran, would bring down his
regime if they could. He also said it was “amusing” that the US thought
Iran would reduce its “defensive capabilities.”
The film, entitled “The Nightmare of Vultures,” opens with Supreme Leader Khamenei addressing military academy graduates in 2011,
warning: “Anybody who thinks of attacking the Islamic Republic of Iran
should be prepared to receive strong slaps and iron fists from the Armed
Forces.”
“And America, its regional puppets and its
guard dog – the Zionist regime – should know that the response of the
Iranian nation to any kind of aggression, attacks or even threats will
be a response that will make them collapse from within,” the film shows
him saying.
Set to dramatic music, the video shows Iranian
drones and missiles carrying out strikes against Tel Aviv’s Kikar
Hamedina square, the Azrieli Towers skyscrapers, and the IDF’s Kirya
central command complex, as well as Ben Gurion International Airport,
Haifa’s Technion, several army and air force bases, and the nuclear
reactor in Dimona.
The strike on the Israel’s central command
building is shown taking place while former prime minister Ehud Olmert
and former defense minister Amir Peretz — who served in that capacity
during the 2006 Second Lebanon War — are inside convening a meeting.

The clips of drone strikes on Israel are
interspersed with shots of Israeli emergency personnel evacuating
injured Israeli civilians and soldiers while air raid sirens wail.

Afterwards,
Iranian drones and missiles are show attacking the American aircraft
carrier USS Abraham Lincoln on its way through the Strait of Hormuz into
the Persian Gulf. Iranian drones are shown downing several American
aircraft before sinking the US capital ship. Zooming out to a map of the
Middle East marked with US military bases, Iranian missiles are then
shown striking American military targets across the Persian Gulf.
In November, Iranian state television aired a shorter animated clip showing Iranian missiles targeting Israeli cities.
Iranian leaders have made repeated threats to
wipe Israel off the map, and have threatened to annihilate Tel Aviv
should Iran’s nuclear facilities be attacked by the West.
