Iran shows off new air defense systems, declares Death to Israel

At an annual military parade in Tehran on Tuesday, Iran showed off its new S-300 air defense missile system and other weapons, many displayed under banners reading “Death to Israel.”

The military parade showcased the Iranian-made Sayyad-3 anti-aircraft missile for the first time, its S-300 air defense missile system and a slew of other military equipment.

Some of the trucks carrying weapons were adorned with banners showing a fist punching through a blue Star of David and the slogan “Death to Israel” written in Persian.

Attending the ceremony was President Hassan Rouhani, who said the Iranian military is “avoiding tensions and encounters, but we need to remain vigilant in the face of plots hatched by the others and increase deterrent power.”

They started calling Israel Israel instead of the "Zionist regime" so there's that.
