In the heart of Tehran, the Iranian regime has unveiled a new propaganda billboard that openly threatens a missile attack on Israel’s metropolitan area. The image was placed in Palestine Square, a location that has been used for years for state-orchestrated displays against Israel and is regularly updated with changing political messages.
The motif shows a detailed map of central Israel with marked targets, including Tel Aviv, Ramat Gan, Herzliya, and Ben Gurion International Airport. Above the depiction appears the English sentence “You start – we finish it.” The image is supplemented by Hebrew slogans referring to Israel as a “small, vulnerable territory.” The visual message is unmistakable: should a military strike be launched against Iranian targets, Tehran is announcing a massive missile attack on Israel’s center.
The threat comes against the background of reports that Iran has now rebuilt its missile arsenal damaged in the war with Israel. Tehran thus continues to possess ballistic capabilities that can, in principle, reach targets in central Israel.
Palestine Square has long served as a symbolic venue for Iranian anti-Israel propaganda. In the past, installations have been displayed there that openly called for Israel’s destruction or visualized corresponding scenarios. Among other things, a doomsday countdown clock was installed there, symbolically ticking down to the destruction of Israel. The installations at this location are regularly replaced, but they always follow the same ideological line.
The new billboard fits into this practice, but it features a map of central Israel with marked locations and largely dispenses with abstract symbolism. The depiction points to a possible Iranian response in the event of a military attack on the ayatollah regime.
This comes at a time of ongoing talks between the United States and Iran, most recently held in Muscat, the capital of Oman. These are indirect talks in which Washington and Tehran communicate through mediators. According to diplomatic sources, these discussions focus primarily on the Iranian nuclear program.
Other issues—such as Iran’s missile arsenal or Tehran’s regional role—are not yet part of the talks. Israel, however, demands that these security-relevant points be included in any possible negotiations. Against this backdrop, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will travel to Washington tomorrow to speak with US President Donald Trump about the ongoing US–Iran talks.
