The Israeli Defense Forces has a few thoughts to share on Iran’s status in the Middle East.
In a tweet Monday, the IDF shared a map of the region with a feisty drawing of arrows pointing to “where Iran is,” in Syria, and “where Iran should be,” in its own country.
“Iran, you seem to be lost,” the photo was captioned.

Many Twitter users have been responding to the post in anger, suggesting that Israel doesn’t belong where it currently is either.
Cool. Now do Israel and the USA.

Around the time of the tweet Monday, Israel announced an attack on Iranian-linked forces in Syria, The Washington Post reported.
“The IDF is currently striking Iranian Quds targets in Syrian territory,” the IDF said in a statement, referring to the elite branch of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard. “The IDF warns the Syrian Armed Forces against attempting to harm Israeli territory or forces.”

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.
Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.
At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.
This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism you rely on. Make a gift today!
