Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has incorporated a symbolic gesture into its latest wave of strikes, launching a pink-painted missile toward Tel Aviv on Monday, following the viral spread of a video featuring a young Iranian girl.
In the widely circulated clip, the girl—her face painted in the colors of the Iranian flag—directly addresses the commander of the IRGC’s Aerospace Force, calling on him to “plow” Tel Aviv with a pink missile.
The video quickly gained traction across Iranian social media platforms, drawing significant public attention.
According to statements carried by Tasnim and Fars Iranian news agencies, the IRGC’s Aerospace Force later confirmed that a missile matching the girl’s request had been launched.
Images circulated by the same outlets showed the missile painted pink and bearing a Farsi inscription that translates to: “In response to the request of the revolutionary girl.”
