Among the commentators was Iranian opposition journalist Walid, who noted that most Iranian users responding to him believed the markings were military training targets. According to Walid, the symbols are not new and were not created in response to the current war.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"rtl\" lang=\"fa\">\u067e\u0631\u0633\u0634 \u062f\u0631\u06cc\u0627\u0641\u062a\u06cc: \u0627\u06cc\u0646 \u0639\u0644\u0627\u0645\u062a\u200c\u0647\u0627 \u0686\u06cc \u0647\u0633\u062a\u0646\u062f \u062f\u0631 \u062c\u0646\u0648\u0628 \u063a\u0631\u0628\u06cc \u0634\u0647\u0631 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/%D8%AE%D9%85%DB%8C%D9%86?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#\u062e\u0645\u06cc\u0646<\/a>\u061f \u0634\u0628\u06cc\u0647 \u0633\u062a\u0627\u0631\u0647 \u062f\u0627\u0648\u0648\u062f \u0631\u0648\u06cc \u067e\u0631\u0686\u0645 \u0627\u0633\u0631\u0627\u0626\u06cc\u0644 \u0628\u0647 \u0646\u0638\u0631 \u0645\u06cc\u0627\u0646.<br \/>\n\u0627\u06cc\u0646\u062c\u0627 \u0631\u0648\u06cc \u0646\u0642\u0634\u0647:<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/N3JPhpHS1q\">https:\/\/t.co\/N3JPhpHS1q<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/iran?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#iran<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/israel?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#israel<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/FdbCCZUlRV\">pic.twitter.com\/FdbCCZUlRV<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Vahid Online (@Vahid) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Vahid\/status\/1939627273537134993?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 30, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s Behind the Symbols?<\/strong><br \/>\nAdditional satellite images from Google Earth indicate the symbols have been present since at least 2024, suggesting they predate the latest conflict.
