Iran has unveiled a billboard in Tehran’s “Palestine Square” that depicts a map of Israel’s central region accompanied with the words, “Against a rain of missiles—this is a small area!”
Among the cities displayed on the map are Tel Aviv, Herzliya, Bnei Brak, and Ramat Gan, Israeli broadcaster Channel 12 reported on Sunday.
The sign also displays a sentence in English that reads, “You start ... we finish it!”

In December, similar propaganda appeared in Iran, urging Lebanon’s Hezbollah to target the northern Israeli city of Nahariya.
“For the next war: Nahariya, be prepared,” billboards erected in Iran read, according to the Israel Defense Forces’ international spokesperson, Lt. Col. Nadav Shoshani.
The warning messages come on the backdrop of heightened tensions in the Middle East, with the U.S. military amassing forces in the Gulf region. The Trump administration has demanded the Iranians curb their nuclear project, warning that a refusal to do so could result in an attack. Negotiations between the two nations are underway in an attempt to avert a military conflict.
On Monday, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei urged his nation, riven by anti-regime protests that have seen thousands of Iranians killed by regime forces, to confront “enemy” powers.
“The enemy must be driven to despair. The enemy’s despair comes through [our] unity, strength of thought and determination, and steadfastness in confronting the enemy’s temptations. These are what build national power,” Khamenei tweeted.
Meanwhile in Israel, Blue and White Party leader Benny Gantz said on Monday that he hopes Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu can convince Trump to put an end to Iran as a strategic threat.
“We are at the edge of a historic crossroad that I would say can affect the entire Middle East and, in a way, the entire global, the entire world, in terms of strategic threats, and I don’t think we should give Iran the next 50 years to play the role it did in the last 50 years,” Gantz, a former IDF chief of staff and defense minister, told JNS.
Gantz said he hopes “the prime minister can convince” Trump of his capacity to be the catalyst of this shift during Netanyahu’s visit to the White House scheduled for Feb. 11.
“The relations between Israel and the United States are very important, very candid relations, regardless of the political manipulation that [people are] trying to create. I hope that [Netanyahu and Trump] will have a productive conversation over there,” said Gantz.
On Sunday, Iran’s foreign minister vowed that Tehran will never abandon uranium enrichment, even if it means war with the United States. He also commented on the U.S. military deployment in the region, saying the show of force “does not scare us.”
