“We’re close to what you’d expect at least,” is the accompanying text in both English and Hebrew. The picture shows the explosion of an Israeli nuclear reactor. A missile also appears to be ejected from the ring with a clenched fist finger, which closely resembles Soleimani’s hand, according to the Jerusalem Post, who also wore such a ring.
