Iranian state television on Monday for the first time ever aired a program with Hebrew subtitles, according to the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting outlet.

“Toward the Horizon of Palestine,” which began airing on IRIB‘s Ofogh channel in the days after the Hamas massacre in southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, included Hebrew subtitles for the first time on Monday evening.

After Tehran “realized that ‘Toward the Horizon of Palestine’ is being monitored in the occupied territories, starting last night, we began broadcasting the news in Hebrew,” said host Hossein Hosseini.

IRIB said the show provides “detailed analysis of the resistance front’s developments and to answer audience questions about Palestine and the Axis of Resistance,” which comprises Hamas, Hezbollah, Islamic Jihad, the Houthi rebels in Yemen, and other Iranian-backed regional terror groups.

The Israeli Air Force struck the IRIB‘s Tehran headquarters during the 12-day war with the Islamic Republic in June. According to the Israeli military, the target of the strike was a communications hub used for military purposes.

The building was used by the regime “under the guise of civilian activity, covering up the military use of the center’s infrastructure and assets,” it said, adding that the attack “directly harmed the military capabilities of the Iranian Armed Forces.”

In November 2022, the U.S. imposed sanctions on the IRIB and several individuals associated with the broadcaster for their involvement in the Iranian government’s censorship activities. IRIB forced and broadcast hundreds of confessions from people detained by the Islamic regime.

The trip comes as tourism from the United States began to pick up this summer, just ahead of next month’s resumption of direct flights to Tel Aviv by two major U.S. airlines.
“If you are not here, you allow the enemies to take over,” Danny Danon told JNS, of why the Jewish state must be present at the United Nations. “If I do not come to the room, they will continue to promote hate.”
U.S. envoy Tom Barrack expressed “deep concern” over an attack in northwestern Syria, which the IDF has not commented on.
“We decided that it was time for a rigorous narrative review of what we called anatomy of antisemitism in the health professions, not just medicine but across-the-board,” one of the authors of a new paper told JNS.
