May 17, 2018By: Batya Jerenberg, World Israel News
An Iranian professor from Tehran University is making the conservative rulers of the Islamic Republic and their media mouthpieces
very angry again, according to a Jerusalem Post report Thursday.
...“If, God forbid, there is a war between us and Israel, we will have to tell future generations why we fought a war with a country 200 kilometers away that never threatened us or had any other dispute with us,” Zibakalam wrote on Twitter on May 10.
“What were all those casualties, and the billions of dollars in military expenditures for?”
His account has reportedly been inundated with some 2,500 comments, shared by Israel’s official Twitter account in Persian – and attracted the ire of several pro-regime newspaper columnists.
....“I have a simple question:
Who gave us the responsibility for destroying Israel?” he tweeted.
“Have the Iranian people held a referendum and asked the government to do this?”
