TL;DR

Hojjat al-Islam Abedini, a commentator on Iranian state broadcaster IRIB's program "Samat-e Khoda," said the regime's "mission is divine" and that it must "topple the Pharaoh of our time" — a reference to the US or Israel — and "liberate the world from Pharaoh," according to Iranian Telegram channels.

01 · THE DISPATCH

Hojjat al-Islam Abedini, a commentator on the Iranian state broadcaster IRIB's program "Samat-e Khoda" (The Sign of God), said Friday that Iran's mission is divine and transcends the current conflict with the United States. In remarks carried by Iranian Telegram channels, he called for toppling 'the Pharaoh of our time' — a common coded reference to either the U.S. or Israel in Iranian revolutionary rhetoric — and 'liberating the world from Pharaoh.' The statement comes as President Trump continues to pursue a nuclear and economic deal with Tehran, which has sparked debate among regime insiders and analysts. As The Zioneer has reported in recent weeks, Trump has alternately threatened and offered negotiation, while Iranian hardliners have framed any agreement as leverage or a betrayal. Abedini's remarks reflect the enduring ideological commitment of the regime's clerical establishment, separate from the diplomatic track.
