Iran
Cheers on Hamas Attacks on Israel, Hails Rockets "Firing at Tel
Aviv"
by TheTower.org Staff | 07.11.14 12:30 pm
An analysis written Thursday by Lt. Col. Michael Segall, a senior analyst
at the Jerusalem Center of Public Affairs, documents the rhetorical
support Iran has given to Hamas's rocket war against Israel.
Segall explains that with no Arab states stepping forward to offer support
for Hamas, Iran has stepped into the vacuum.
Iran has long been trying to fill the Arab void that has emerged. As in
the past, Iran is now springing to the aid of Hamas despite the tension
between them that stems from the crisis in Syria. Iran's Supreme Leader
Ali Khamenei keeps attacking the "Zionist regime" and supporting
the Palestinians with calls to come to their assistance.1 President Hassan
Rouhani, for his part, continues to maintain a low media profile with
regard to the military operation. As the operation continues, activity on
social networks, some of which are identified with the IRGC, is
intensifying, glorifying the role of Iran in general and of the IRGC in
particular in upgrading the Palestinian terror organizations' ability to
launch rockets "into the heart of the cities in Israel." A
Twitter account identified with the IRGC proclaimed, "Oh my senior
commander, the shahid Hassan Tehrani, Fajr missiles are falling on Tel
Aviv every morning"; and "the shahid Tehrani Moghaddam, father
of the missile program of the Revolutionary Guard, is the one who
bombarded Ben-Gurion Airport."Segall explains that "Hassan
Tehrani Moghaddam . is
considered the 'father of Iran's missile program'" who "was
killed when an IRGC ammunition warehouse exploded on November 12,
2011."
Israel's March interception of the Klos C - a ship laden with illegal
weapons originating in Iran - once again focused attention on Iran's
role
as "the leading weapons smuggler in the Middle East." A recent
United Nations report tied Iran to Hamas's rebuilt arsenalthat is
"capable of
reaching most of Israel."
