IT BECAME A WORLD’S AGENDA
The long-barreled rifle that Khamenei held in his hand during his speech became a trending topic all over the world.
It was stated that the rifle seen in that photo, which was on the agenda all over the world, was the Dragunov SVD sniper rifle.
IRANIAN ANALYST EXPLAINED ITS MEANING
Iranian political analyst Farshid Bagherian, who was a guest on Main News with Fatih Portakal on Sözcü TV, explained what the sniper rifle in those images that talked about the world meant. Bagherian, who lives in Tehran, said:
“Our target is clear, we do not fire volleys. This means a clear shot, a precise shot. The target is essentially Zionism, specific targets. It is not Israel, innocent citizens live there, you cannot fire volleys there. How much of the population is Zionist? This is sharp, that is, specific targets.”
Bagherian, Portakal’s question “Is a major attack expected from Israel?” “No. But Iran is the only state that has directly attacked Israel. Iran has proven this and has done it twice.” he replied.
