An earlier phenomenon saw Iranians inquiring about finding passage out of the country in shipments to Russia of attack drones.
Tehran, June 19 – A billboard in the capital of the Islamic Republic touting the regime’s development of a weapon that can travel many times the speed of sound and reach Israel’s commercial hub has prompted tens of thousands of citizens in the Republic to try to find a way to get that weapon to transport them there, as well – anything to help them leave a country being run into the ground by the mullahs.
Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s officials hung a large banner in Tehran the week before last featuring images of what it claims is a hypersonic missile capable of reaching Tel Aviv “in 400 seconds,” a claim the banner proclaimed in Arabic, Farsi, and Hebrew. Intended both as a threat against a country the mullahs consider an enemy and as a tool to distract a disaffected, restive population from the regime’s disastrous policy failures, the advertisement instead sparked a rush to find the missile, which, if its claims prove true, offers desperate Iranians a way out of Iran.
Social media reported a spike in interest among Iranians two weeks ago regarding the payload capacity of the missile. Accounts of frustrated Iranians, unable to discern where or how many such missiles exist, spread around the internet. At least fourteen cases appeared captured on video of citizens yelling at regime officials, trying to extract information on whether the missiles could take them away from the mismanaged, theocratic hell that Iran has become in the last 44 years.
A lower-key, earlier but parallel phenomenon saw Iranians inquiring about finding passage out of the country in one of the many shipments to Russia of artillery shells, attack drones, and other armaments that Russia uses in its ongoing invasion of Ukraine. The hypersonic missile ad prompted a more immediate and robust reaction, observers explain, because vanishingly few Iranians want to end up in Russia.
“There’s always the possibility of dying on the way in a crash or a sinking,” acknowledged one expert, speaking on condition of anonymity out of concern for reprisal by the regime, “and that’s enough of an improvement over current conditions in Iran that some have tried to achieve that, so far without any success that we have been able to find.”
The prospect of reaching Tel Aviv, however remote, has motivated Iranians in ways that other exit destinations, in theory more available to them under regime imperialism, have not: Beirut, Damascus, Gaza, Aden, and Baghdad, for example.
