Iranian Newspaper Glorifies Terrorist Act
Iranian newspaper associated with Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei praised Elias Rodriguez, who allegedly murdered an American and Israeli in Washington, D.C., referring to him as “our dear brother” and glorifying his actions as being for Palestine and Gaza. The editorial also mentioned that Rodriguez had founded the Washington Basij, a para-military organization known for its ruthless enforcement of Khamenei’s rule. The anti-American sentiment was evident in the newspaper’s language, with the editor of Kayhan celebrating the killings of the American and Israeli individuals. This glorification of violence shocked observers who are familiar with the Iranian regime’s history of sponsoring terrorism.
Iranian Regime’s Stance on Nuclear Agreement and Terrorism
Editorial came at a time when reports suggested Trump administration was considering an interim nuclear agreement with Iran, involving the abandonment of nuclear weapons pursuit in exchange for limited sanctions relief. However, Iranian regime has consistently maintained its right to enrich uranium, a key component in building nuclear weapons. Regime has long been designated as a leading state sponsor of terrorism by U.S. government.
- Another Iranian newspaper, Vatan-e-Emrooz, owned by Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, also praised the assassinations, further highlighting regime’s antisemitic stance.
- Experts have warned that such media statements reveal true nature of Iranian regime and dangers of trusting it in negotiations for sanctions relief in exchange for nuclear disarmament pledges.
Threat of terror from Iran is not confined to Israel but extends to U.S., as evidenced by support for murders in Iranian media. Reference to Elias as a figure from Islamic tradition who killed infidels further emphasizes twisted justification for violence against perceived enemies. Overall, text paints concerning picture of Iranian regime’s extremist views and its willingness to support and promote acts of terrorism.
