"The final battle is drawing closer," read an April 28 headline in the ultraconservative Javan daily, which is run by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), as the country was gearing up for state-organized anti-Israeli rallies dubbed Quds Day.
"This year's Quds Day is different," the paper wrote, citing a recent wave of deadly militancy launched by Palestinians targeting security forces and citizens well inside Israel. Javan argued that those attacks have turned armed struggle into an "objective reality," leaving Israel with the "unavoidable fate of destruction."
