Pro-government Iranians rally in Tehran after renewed missile attacks on Israel |
Thousands of people held a pro-government rally in Tehran overnight following Iran’s renewed strikes on Israel, footage from state and independent media outlets showed.
Footage published by Iran’s English-language state outlet Press TV showed masses of people packed into Tehran’s Enghelab Square, waving flags of the Islamic Republic and its Lebanese terror proxy Hezbollah.
According to the outlet, the crowd called on Majid Mousavi, head of the Revolutionary Guards’ Aerospace Command, to strike Tel Aviv.
“Sayid Majid, strike the devil, strike Tel Aviv tonight,” the crowd appeared to chant in the footage.
Iran on Sunday night fired missiles at Israel for the first time in two months, in retaliation for the IDF’s targeting of Hezbollah infrastructure in Beirut after the terror group fired rockets at Israel.
Israel in response carried out strikes overnight in western and central Iran, which were followed by further Iranian attacks on Israel on Monday morning, as well as a missile launch by Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels.
