Following Israel’s attack on Tehran’s nuclear program, Israel’s Deputy Minister Almog Cohen calls on the Iranian people to “rise up” against their government.
“Overthrow the Ayatollah regime — those who drown in wine and wealth, while using your beautiful nation to fund global-terror,” the far-right politician tweets alongside a cartoon of an Iranian lion kicking the symbol of the current regime off the country’s national flag.
“Freedom is yours—take it!”
People of Iran, rise up!
