This is John Batchelor, conversation with colleague Ben and Ben Talibou, a senior fellow at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracy, about some logic in Tehran and in the cities of Iran by the people who object vehemently, passionately object and reject the regime in power in Tehran these many decades. And Benham tells the story of graffiti

appearing in the street after the Israeli counter-strike, leading to one assumes the Iranian people want to do it on their

own they don't want armies from outside. Here's Ben and Pentelablute to explain the irony and the graffiti.

More of this later tonight.

Perhaps another interesting element from the street that has made its way out to social media would be of interest to you

that ties in exactly to this theme that you had just mentioned.

In the aftermath of the October 1st Iranian ballistic missile barrage against Israel which make no mistake is the biggest

ballistic missile attack single day attack in reported history of so long as

there have been ballistic missiles.

Very interesting fact, that's a notch the Ayatollahs have in their belt.

There was graffiti in Iran in anticipation of the Israeli strike.

And the graffiti, if I can summarize it, basically read of the

israeli strike and the graffiti if I can summarize it basically read

Israel the first strike is yours the last strike is ours

it's basically goating is real to start something that the Iranian people can finish.
