Iranian TV Airs Simulated Bombing of Tel Aviv, U.S. Aircraft Carrier
(Times of Israel) Ilan Ben Zion - 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 by Iran: On Saturday, an Iranian admiral announced that Iran had dispatched warships to the North Atlantic, while Iran's leader Ayatollah Khamenei said it was "amusing" that the U.S. thought Iran would reduce its "defensive capabilities."
