Thanks to all those pointing out I misspoke this evening says Israel is sworn to Iran’s destruction. That is not the case. Feel free to retweet to correct the record. Iranian leaders have called for Israel to be wiped off the map but not vice versa.
Israel has never been sworn to Iran’s destruction, as

Still, only 159 trucks were allowed into Gaza yesterday and Israel blocks all food convoys from UNRWA to reach North Gaza.
