The Israeli Consulate in New York launched a campaign in Times Square this week against Iran and its Hezbollah proxy in Lebanon in Times Square amid ongoing threats by the Islamic Republic to attack the Jewish state.

“Iran and Hezbollah. Partners in terror. 150k rockets aimed at Israel, 40 years of global terror,” reads the billboard advertisement, which was launched on Wednesday and set to run throughout the weekend.

The calls on passersby to learn more about Iranian terror by scanning a QR code that leads to an Israeli Foreign Ministry website outlining the atrocities committed by Iran and its terror proxies since joining the war in support of Hamas one day after the Islamist group’s Oct. 7 massacre.

The cost of a billboard on Times Square ranges between $5,000 and $50,000 a day, depending on the complexity and location of the ad.

The campaign comes as intelligence reports indicate that Iran and Hezbollah are preparing to drag the Middle East into an all-out regional war by attacking the Jewish state “within days.”

Tehran and its proxies have vowed to avenge both the killing of Ismail Haniyeh, the head of Hamas’s “political” bureau, and of Fuad Shukr, a senior member of Hezbollah’s Jihad Council, whom Israeli defense officials have described as the terror organization’s No. 2 man.
