Iran: Our Fajr-5 Rockets Sent Three Million Israelis to Bomb Shelters
(MEMRI) On Feb. 8, 2013, Ali Akbar Velayati, advisor to Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei for international affairs, said: "We saw how the Palestinians managed to drag three million Israelis to bomb shelters and to target Tel Aviv with the extremely simple [Fajr] missiles given to them by Iran." On Feb. 11, Ali Saeedi, Khamenei's representative in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), stated: "What solved Gaza's problem are the Fajr-5 missiles that Iran gave as a gift." In November 2012, former IRGC official Javad Karimi said: "We sent the besieged Gaza 50,000 missiles and thousands of anti-tank rockets." He added: "Launching Fajr-5 missiles at the center of Tel Aviv attests to a major victory in the conflict over Palestine in favor of the Iranian nation, and allowed Iran to once again prove its strength to the world. These 50,000 Fajr missiles show the crucial role Iran played in Gaza's victory."
