A video was uploaded to the IMA Media YouTube channel on March 5 that shows an underground UAV and missile base operated by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Republican Guards Corps (IRGC).

According to a Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) report, senior IRGC commanders in the video are seen touring the base. An announcer welcomes them, saying: “Our blade is thirsty for blood. ... Our job is to sacrifice our lives, like [the assassinated former commander of the Quds Force Gen. Qassem] Soleimani did.”

The video shows a simulation of UAVs and missiles being launched from the underground base and hitting a target in the desert.

“Jews make up a small fraction of San Francisco’s population, yet anti-Jewish bias accounted for nearly half of all hate crimes reported so far this year,” Marc Levine, of the ADL, told JNS.
Board of Peace envoy Nickolay Mladenov denies claims of a financial deal with the terror group.
Jonathan Sarna, of Brandeis University, told JNS that the partnership “vividly displays the benefits of the free marketplace of competing synagogues in the American setting.”
The meeting “focused on strategies to strengthen Jewish safety and belonging, maintain candid lines of communication and collaborate on issues where we have shared values and goals,” Phylisa Wisdom, executive director of the Mayor’s office to Combat Antisemitism, told JNS.
