Israel’s attack on the Iranian consulate in Damascus, the capital of Syria, on April 1 increased tension in the region. Iran made the statement “We will punish” regarding the attack in which 7 people, including 2 generals, lost their lives. Following the successive statements, the US intelligence gave time for a possible attack by Iran, which further increased the tension.
FIRST ATTACK ON ISRAEL FROM THE IRANIAN MAINLAND
Iran responded to Israel’s attack last weekend. Iran attacked Israeli territory with missiles and UAVs. While some points were hit, it was reported that missiles and UAVs were shot down by warplanes belonging to the US and Israeli air forces. The attack is of particular importance as it is the first time Iran has hit Israel on its territory.
“PREPARATION IS COMPLETED”
