Senior commanders from Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) have tried to radicalise British university students with extreme antisemitic propaganda and calls for violence, it has been claimed.
Eight controversial armed forces chiefs gave speeches to Muslim students, urging them to support illegal attacks and venerate people who have carried out acts of violence, according to an investigation by the Jewish Chronicle. The paper claims the talks were hosted by the Islamic Students Association of Britain (ISA).
Recordings obtained by the paper are said to reveal that one commander claimed the Holocaust was “fake”, boasted of training al-Qaeda terrorists and urged listeners to join “the beautiful list of soldiers” who would fight and kill Jews in an apocalyptic war.
Another military leader allegedly claimed Jews “created homosexuality” and said students should “raise the flag of the Islamic Revolution, Islam and martyrdom” and see themselves as “holy warriors”, promising the “era of the Jews” would soon end.
The talks, which were live-streamed from Iran and viewed by tens of thousands of people, were from speakers who have played key roles in crushing of dissent in Iran, according to the Jewish Chronicle.
