ALBAWABA - The Islamic Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) shared a picture of one of the missiles that bore a message on American financier Jeffrey Epstein and his infamous island.

A photo of a missile went viral and sparked wide debate online after the Iranian army wrote on it, "In memory of Epstein victims".

Many people claimed that when Washington and Tel Aviv launched a preemptive attack on Tehran, U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli officials started a war to cover up the Jeffrey Epstein files, claiming that senior officials are mentioned in the documents that were released late January by the U.S. Department of Justice.

Jeffrey Epstein was a convicted sex offender, known for his wealth, high-profile connections, and criminal activities. He was first convicted in 2008 for solicitation of prostitution involving a minor and was later arrested in 2019 on federal charges of sex trafficking minors, allegedly involving dozens of underage girls. 

He died in a Manhattan jail cell while awaiting trial, officially ruled a suicide, though his death sparked widespread controversy.

Iran launched an attack on Israel and American assets in the Middle East after the two carried out a preemptive attack on Tehran on Feb. 28.

In the attack, many senior Iranian officials and military leaders were killed, including Iran's supreme leader, Ali Khamenei. His son, Mojtaba, who was named the new supreme leader, was also injured in the strike, but his condition is believed to be stable, according to an Iranian government official.
