In June 2025, against the backdrop of the exacerbation of Israeli-Iranian relations and the exchange of air strikes, in the Russian-language segment of social networks there were allegations that Iran is the only country that at the state level set itself the goal of destroying Israel. We checked the reliability of such statements.
On the night of June 13, 2025, Israel began to apply Blows on Iran. According to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the goal of the attack was the objects of the nuclear program. Iran answered large -scale Shelling Israeli territories with ballistic missiles. “The ideological doctrine of the totalitarian authorities of Iran includes the destruction of Israel as an important part of the development program. From a theological point of view, Ayatall, the triumph of their type of Islam on the planet cannot happen without the total destruction of Israel, and the super -entertaining ayatall - precisely the triumph of Shiite Islam on the whole planet, ” - wrote June 15 on Facebook economist Andrey Movchan. Similar publications can be found on the pages of other users (for example, here And here), as well as in Telegram - in particular, in the Ukrainian policy channel Alexei Armovich (123,000 views at the time of writing this analysis), "Dimitriev"(92 000),"Israeli labor workers"(79 000), Yigal Levin (65,000) and others.
The relationship of Iran and Israel was not always as tense as now. Iran became one of the first Muslim countries to de facto recognized Israel-this It happened In March 1950, just two years after the proclamation of the Jewish state. And although in 1951 Iran Closed their consulate in Jerusalem, relations between countries soon again resumed And did not stop until the Islamic Revolution of 1979.
The current edition Constitution Iran has been operating since 1989. Israel is not mentioned in this document. However, some articles of the Basic Law can be interpreted as the basis for supporting Palestinian and other Muslim organizations in their confrontation Israel. Thus, the third article of the Constitution provides for the development of the country's foreign policy “on the basis of Islamic criteria, fraternal commitment to all Muslims and limitless support to fighters for the freedom of the world,” and the 11th article says: “All Muslims form a single nation, and the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran is obliged to establish their general policy on the merger and unity of Muslim nations.”
In addition, the fifth article of the Constitution says: “In the Islamic Republic of Iran, the leadership over the Ummah (Muslim community. - Approx. Ed.) And the Office of society has a fair, pious, familiar with the requirements of time, courageous, rational, possessing the ability to control the Fakih (Supreme Leader. - Approx. Ed.)”. This means that it is the Supreme Leader that determines the general policy of Iran and controls all branches of power. Since 1989, this position has been Ali Hamenyapreviously former the president (that is, the second person) of the country.
Khamenei is known as one of the most implacable opponents of Israel. In 2014, he wrote In the social network Twitter (now - X): “From this barbaric, like a wolf and a detubanding regime of Israel, not disdaining any crimes, there is no other salvation, except for its destruction.”
The next day, he unfolded his thought, publishing in his blog "Nine key questions about the destruction of Israel". There, Khamenei, in particular, proposed to hold a referendum among the “indigenous residents” of Palestine about whether “Jewish immigrants who were convinced to move to Palestine could continue to live on this land or have to leave it.
A year later, against the background of discussion Iranian nuclear program agreements, Hameni declared: "God will give, after 25 years there will be no more Zionist regime."
Based on this statement by Khamenei, on June 23, 2017 in Tehran on Palestine Square Installed The clock is the opposite counting before the destruction of Israel. Later similar watches appeared and in other places.
In May 2020, Iran was accepted in Iran The law on counteracting hostile actions of the Zionist regime against peace and securityaimed at preventing any relationship between Iranian and Israeli citizens and companies. A year later, in the Iranian parliament they began discuss bill, one of the points of which the government obliged the government to take steps to eliminate Israel by March 2041. However, “verified” could not be found in open sources of evidence that this bill was adopted.
Thus, although in the Constitution and other laws of Iran the destruction of Israel is not mentioned as a goal, the Supreme Leader of Iran, in accordance with the constitution, forming the state’s policy, repeatedly and publicly called for the elimination of the “Zionist regime” and even called specific terms when this should happen.
