What the post says
In a post marked "urgent," the channel said the supreme leader told the commanders that the target bank "must be updated." The post, translated from Arabic, also quoted him as saying the assets of "the American Zionist enemy" must be placed within range of Iranian fire.
The post gave no further wording from the remarks. It did not say where or when the supreme leader spoke, or whether the comments came in a meeting, a speech or a written message. It did not say which commanders were present.
The text of the post does not name the supreme leader. It refers to him only by his title.
What is not known
The post does not say which assets or locations are meant by "enemy assets." It does not describe any military action that has been ordered or carried out. It does not say whether the instruction relates to a specific event or to a general posture.
There was no response in the source material from the Iranian government, the armed forces, the United States or Israel. The post also did not say whether Iranian state media had published the remarks.
"Target bank" is a term the post uses without explanation. The source does not define it. It does not say which units hold or maintain such a list, or how often it is revised.
Background
The source material contains no background on the current state of relations between Iran, the United States and Israel. It also does not describe any recent incidents that might have led to the remarks. Zenga News has therefore not added context that the source does not support.
The report will be updated if Iranian officials, state media or other news organisations publish the remarks in full or confirm them.
