Performance At IRGC, Basij Gathering In Tehran: We Will Raze Tel Aviv, Haifa To The Ground; The Saud Clan Will Be Eliminated, Mecca Liberated

On May 20, 2022, Channel 3 (Iran) aired footage from a gathering of IRGC and Basij forces from the Tehran Metropolitan Area. One performance at the gathering featured a song with the lyrics: "We are ready for war, tell Zion… No trace will be left of the demon... Not a single house will be left standing in Tel Aviv... The Saud clan is a mirror reflecting the scheming of the Jews [and will be] eliminated." In addition, a speaker at the event said that Haifa and Tel Aviv will be razed to the ground, and a woman in the crowd said she would give up her life for Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei. Moreover, IRGC Commander-in-Chief General Hossein Salami promised the audience that they will soon pray in the courtyard of the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

Singer: "In a heavy battle, tell Zion... We are ready for war, tell Zion... In our attack, no trace will be left of the demon... Not a single house will be left standing in Tel Aviv... Not a single house will be left standing in Tel Aviv...

"The Saud clan is a mirror reflecting the scheming of the Jews... The day of salvation will be the day the Saud clan is eliminated; That day that Mecca will be liberated is very soon. That day that Mecca will be liberated is very soon. The Saud clan is taking its last breaths."
