Iran reportedly released a propaganda video Sunday depicting a terror attack on the U.S. Capitol/

The propaganda video aired on state-controlled television and depicted its elite Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) forces marching before the U.S. Capitol building explodes, The Washington Free Beacon first reported.

“The palace of oppression was destroyed by the IRGC, and the good news of the liberation of [Jerusalem] arrives from Iran,” reads a translation of chanting heard in the propaganda video, according to Tony Blair Institute analyst Kasra Aarabi. The “palace of oppression” refers to the U.S. Capitol.

The video also depicted Iran’s military launching rockets and what appeared to be Iranian forces approaching the city of Jerusalem.

The propaganda video was released ahead of a speech delivered Sunday by Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in which he praised the IRGC and celebrated its former leader Gen. Qassem Soleimani, who was killed in a drone strike during the Trump administration, according to Reuters.

“The Americans have been for years deeply saddened by the Islamic republic’s influence, and they were angry with General Soleimani for this reason and martyred him for this reason,” Khamenei said.

Iranian foreign minister Javad Zarif criticized the IRGC for its outsized political influence in leaked audio released in late April, multiple Iranian and U.S. outlets reported.

Zarif also said Iran “will never be friends” with the U.S. as long as the Islamic Republic “preserves its identity,” according to an independent translation of the leaked audio by the Free Beacon.

The Biden administration is attempting to rejoin the Iran nuclear deal and re-start diplomatic engagement with Tehran. But Iran has continued to flout the deal by ramping up uranium enrichment to its highest level ever. (RELATED: Is Biden Getting Ready To Send Iran $7 Billion In Ransom?)

Republicans in Congress accused the Biden administration of removing pressure on Iran placed under former President Donald Trump, who withdrew from the nuclear deal and reinstated sanctions.

Republican Pennsylvania Sen. Pat Toomey tweeted Monday in response to the propaganda video that the Biden administration’s priority “should be ensuring Iran cannot carry out such an attack, not capitulating by removing sanctions.”

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
