Hundreds of Iranian activists both in and outside of the country have warned that Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s “warmongering” regime is leading Iran “towards destruction” by pursuing hostilities with Israel.
In a letter seen by The Telegraph, they wrote: “In a situation where Iran is facing multidimensional economic, political, and social crises, increased tension between Iran and Israel is detrimental.”
Israel has vowed to respond after Iran launched more than 300 drones, rockets and missiles at the country last weekend.
That attack was in turn a response to an Israeli attack on Iran’s consulate in Damascus, which killed a senior member of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
