Iranians, while “waiting every minute and second” for a US strike against the Islamic Regime, would prefer an Israeli strike due to the precise nature of the Air Force’s strikes in June, while there is a perception that US strikes would “bring terrible destruction, like in Iraq and Afghanistan,” a local, identified as Ali told KAN Reshet Bet on Sunday.
Ali added that the Israeli strikes in June focused on targeted hits against “the mercenaries of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps” and the Iranian regime’s leadership, and did not cause harm to “ordinary citizens” or any economic infrastructure.
Additionally, he told KAN that the regime has “brutally murdered and dismembered” over 40,000 people, and injured hundreds of thousands more during the anti-regime protests over the past two months.
Ali, discussing the resumed university student protests, said that the regime has used brutal and savage force, murdering and kidnapping students to “choke the protests in their infancy.”
Israel’s public broadcaster also asked Ali if he was afraid to be interviewed by Israeli radio. In response, he quoted a Persian proverb, including that if the regime kidnaps and kills him, then “at least I will rest, at least I won’t feel hungry.”
Further, he added that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has grown in popularity in Iran, with everyone calling him “Bibi-Gol [Bibi the flower],” while telling Ben-Ami that he has been learning Hebrew and that the regime has kept Hebrew-learning platforms open.
The regime has intended these platforms to be used to further its hopes that it will conquer Israel, wanting citizens to know the language, possibly aiding in espionage. “This will help you,” the regime tells citizens, according to Ali.
