Iranian TV airs simulated bombing of Tel Aviv, US aircraft carrier
Iranian TV airs simulated bombing of Tel Aviv, US aircraft carrier, Times of Israel, February 8, 2014
(What might Iran’s reaction be if U.S. or Israeli Television posted a similar video about attacking Iran? That’s a stupid question, of course. – DM)
Clip shows simulated strikes on Ben Gurion Airport, Haifa, USS Abraham Lincoln in retaliation for hypothetical attack on Iran.

Iranian state TV on Friday ran a documentary featuring a computerized video of Iran’s drones and missiles bombing Tel Aviv, Haifa, Ben Gurion Airport and the Dimona nuclear reactor in a hypothetical retaliation for an Israeli or American strike on the Islamic Republic.
Iranian drones and missiles are also shown carrying out simulated strikes on the American aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, downing American aircraft and striking American military targets in the Persian Gulf.
The clip was broadcast amid a clear escalation of anti-American rhetoric and even action by Iran: On Saturday, an Iranian admiral announced that Iran had despatched warships to the North Atlantic, while Iran’s spiritual leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei denounced the Americans as liars who, while professing to be friends of Iran, would bring down his regime if they could. He also said it was “amusing” that the US thought Iran would reduce its “defensive capabilities.”
The film, entitled “The Nightmare of Vultures,” opens with Supreme Leader Khamenei addressing military academy graduates in 2011, warning: “Anybody who thinks of attacking the Islamic Republic of Iran should be prepared to receive strong slaps and iron fists from the Armed Forces.”
“And America, its regional puppets and its guard dog – the Zionist regime – should know that the response of the Iranian nation to any kind of aggression, attacks or even threats will be a response that will make them collapse from within,” the film shows him saying.
Set to dramatic music, the video shows Iranian drones and missiles carrying out strikes against Tel Aviv’s Kikar Hamedina square, the Azrieli Towers skyscrapers, and the IDF’s Kirya central command complex, as well as Ben Gurion International Airport, Haifa’s Technion, several army and air force bases, and the nuclear reactor in Dimona.
The strike on the Israel’s central command building is shown taking place while former prime minister Ehud Olmert and former defense minister Amir Peretz — who served in that capacity during the 2006 Second Lebanon War — are inside convening a meeting.
The clips of drone strikes on Israel are interspersed with shots of Israeli emergency personnel evacuating injured Israeli civilians and soldiers while air raid sirens wail.
A barrage of missiles brings down Tel Aviv’s skyscrapers in a final blow.

Afterwards, Iranian drones and missiles are show attacking the American aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln on its way through the Strait of Hormuz into the Persian Gulf. Iranian drones are shown downing several American aircraft before sinking the US capital ship. Zooming out to a map of the Middle East marked with US military bases, Iranian missiles are then shown striking American military targets across the Persian Gulf.
In November, Iranian state television aired a shorter animated clip showing Iranian missiles targeting Israeli cities.
Iranian leaders have made repeated threats to wipe Israel off the map, and have threatened to annihilate Tel Aviv should Iran’s nuclear facilities be attacked by the West.

There would be hell to pay if Iran attempted to take out an aircraft carrier.

I wonder why there is not much reaction when John McCain sings `bomb, bomb, bomb Iran.` or any other US politician advocates `taking out` Tehran. It´s all part of the same show, there won´t be an attack on Iran no matter how much hubris is spread around.

Your playing with real fire here the pentagon has executive order now they can attack you anytime they want it was also decided at the last NATO meeting,if NATO or the usa attack you renby you wont be able to retaliate it will all be over in seconds your looking at a nuclear strike now and thats set in stone you have no viable military option even in your own country,so stop deluding yourselves before someone calls your bluff and you people die ,no one will shed a tear in the west you best get with the program ,Iran has weeks and days to chance its ways it should be very sobering,Your tv fantasy is quite comical you dont even have a air force,if you can call that 70 year old pile of scrap one and there in better condition than your navy and land forces you cant hide from us Israel will be the last of your problems,our terrorist army is coming to iran soon too i doubt you will like what you gave to others,repent while you still can

I WATCHED THIS VIDEO FULLY AND THE CONCLUSION THAT I CAME TO IS.
FOR AYATOLLAHS THE SANCTION MADE THEM TO COME TO THE NEGOTIATING TABLE .THE IRANIAN AYATOLLAHS MUST BE HAVING LOOSE MOTION EVERY DAY FEARING THAT THE AMERICAN(US) HAS ALL THE ASSETS IN PLACE AND HAD GIVEN PEACE THE LAST CHANCE TO WORK.
THE US DOES NOT NEED TO PUT A VIDEO OUT TO COUNTER THE IRANIAN PROPAGANDA JUST A STILL PHOTO SHOWING PUSHING A BUTTON ALL WILL BE DONE.
IRAN BEHAVE IN A CIVILIZED MANNER OR YOU WILL BE MADE CIVILIZED.
