Critics of Iran’s government hang pro-Israel banner in Tehran.
By World Israel News Staff
A pro-Israel banner endorsing an Iranian opposition leader in exile was spotted in the heart of Tehran this week.
On Wednesday, a banner was spotted hanging from a centrally-located bridge in Tehran reading, “We stand with Israel” and “Vahid is our voice”, referring to Iranian opposition activist Vahid Beheshti.
The banner was seemingly in response to Beheshti recent visit to Israel, during which he spoke at the Knesset Israel Victory (KIVC) caucus in front of ministers and Members of Knesset.
“Soon you will have to deal with the elephant in the room, which is the Iranian government, and you should not be afraid of attacking Iranian bases in Iran. This is the only language they understand,” Beheshti told a packed room in the Knesset at the KIVC on January 2nd.
“The good news is that you have an army of 80 million Iranians who are thirsty for freedom and democracy, who since 2009 have been trying to overthrow the government but have not yet succeeded, because of the barbaric violence of the Iranian regime. If you support the Iranian people, you will see how they will lower the head of the octopus and we will all experience peace.”
Beheshti is the first Iranian opposition activist to speak in the Knesset.
During his time in Israel, he also toured the communities in the Gaza envelope, met the families of hostages, expressed support for Israel on behalf of the Iranian people, and called on Israel to focus its efforts directly against the head of the Iranian octopus, whose tentacles are attacking the Jewish State around the region.
The event in the Knesset was the first time Ministers, Members of Knesset, security, diplomatic and political leaders presented “day after” plans and spoke about how to turn a victory on the battlefield into something more permanent.
