Iran threatens Israel with 'Updog' weapon

Iran has remained tight-lipped on the exact nature of this new threat.

Filed · 0503

TEHRAN, IRAN — In a dramatic and cryptic announcement, Iran’s government has declared the imminent deployment of a secret offensive weapon named "Updog" against Israel. The proclamation, made during a press conference in Tehran, was laced with bombastic rhetoric.

"This is not just a weapon; it is a force of reckoning," an Iranian spokesman told reporters. "Updog will descend upon our enemies like the hand of justice itself, and the Zionist regime will crumble under its weight."

Iran, however, has remained tight-lipped on the exact nature of this new threat.
