On December 3, 2024, Ofogh TV (Iran) aired a simulated attack on the Port of Eilat. Israeli affairs analyst Mohammad-Taghi Aghayan explained the strategic significance of the port to the “Zionist regime,” highlighting twenty vital points within it. The host of the show revealed that the simulation not only involved Iran but also the broader Resistance Axis. In the scenario, Palestine-2 hypersonic ballistic missiles were launched from three locations in Yemen, while Shahed-136 drones were deployed from Iraq. The host and Aghayan further discussed which Iranian cities would launch Fattah missiles at the Port of Eilat, with the host noting that "all Iranian cities have ‘missile cities’.” They settled on Shahrood and Astara as launch points for the Fattah missiles.

Interviewer: "After the simulation of the attack on the important port of Haifa, many of our viewers said: Now that you started this, you should continue – we thank them for their encouragement and guidance... They asked that we do a simulation of what an attack on the Port of Eilat would look like."

[...]

Mohammad-Taghi Aghayan: "The Port of Eilat is one of the most important and strategic ports for the Zionist regime. There is military equipment in this port, the regime's economic affairs are handled there, and it is very sensitive about this port. They bought very heavy cranes to unload their military and economic shipments. It is of the utmost importance for them.

[...]

"Now we will get into the water, and take a look at the vessels, the rooms, the command centers, and we will do great things.

[...]

"We have ten vital points in the Port of Eilat. The first is the maritime communication tower. The second one is also another tower but they are distanced from each other. They have different functions that I will explain. Third are the civilian port administration, and civilian Port of Eilat control center, military dock operations control, a civilian silo for imported bulk food storage, the dock for commercial vessels for bulk food transportation, Eilat's container cranes, a military dock, and a dock for the National Security Guard vessels.

[...]

"If you will allow us, we will take a look at another part of the port."

Interviewer: "Let's take a look. Good work on this simulation. Here, there are ten more locations, and all together this makes 20 in total, correct?"

Aghayan: "Yes, we have the dock for large military vessels. American destroyers and [vessels] from other countries come here."

Interviewer: "Yes, they dock here. There is also the Saar dock – number 11."

Aghayan: "There is also the Saar-5 class dock, and the long-ranger Flotilla 915, the naval command and control center and warehouse for broken or obsolete vessels, a submarine berth that we talked about last time, and the military logistic warehouse, 1 to 3.

[...]

"With your permission, we will now see how we can strike these locations."

Interviewer:  "In my opinion, tonight it will not only be our dear Iran that is carrying out the attack. Let's share [this mission] with the Resistance Axis.

[...]

"For example, Yemen, Iraq, and Iran."

Aghayan: "Certainly."

Interviewer: "[Launching] from Yemen, from places that are more widely familiar, the capital Sana'a and Al-Hudaydah because it was attacked before, and Sa'adah. We launch Palestine-2 missiles from these three locations."

Aghayan: "You have high expectations since you are choosing hypersonic [missiles]."

[...]

Interviewer: "From Baghdad to Najaf... Let's use drones and not missiles, since the resistance in Iraq..."

Aghayan: "We have many types. Which drones?"

Interviewer: "Is Shahed-136 any good?"

Aghayan: "It is. The Westerners are sensitive about Shahed-136.

[...]

"Let's go over to Iran. For the first site, we will go up north. I heard that Astara has great people and wonderful things happen there. Let's also go toward Semnan province: Damghan and Shahrood are not bad sites."

Interviewer: "You have a wide range to choose from, since all Iranian cities have missile cities."

Aghayan: "Yes, Thank God. If we choose Shahrood and Astara, we can use Fattah missiles.

[...]

"In the name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful. With codename 'Ali bin Abi Taleb,' we are launching the missiles against the occupied territories. Oh Ali bin Abi Taleb!

[...]

"Here are the missiles launching. This is Yemen... This is Iraq. What a sound! This is Astara... How beautiful! Here it comes... Mashallah, Thank God... You are watching Astara and Shahrood's missiles. Allah Akbar, Allah be praised."
