Tension rose in the region after Israel targeted the Iranian consulate in Damascus, the capital of Syria. Israel responded harshly to Iran’s statement saying ‘We will punish’.
“WE ARE EXTREMELY PREPARED”
A new statement came from Israel. Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Spokesperson Daniel Hagari, in his statement, referred to the preparations made for possible attacks from Iran and said, “We are alert and extremely prepared for various scenarios. We are constantly evaluating the situation. “We are ready to attack and defend together with our strategic partners, using the various capabilities that the IDF has,” he said.
“SINCE 1973…”
On the other hand, the post of US Florida Senator Marco Rubio attracted attention. In his statement on social media, Rubio said, “Iran wants to launch a large-scale attack against Israel from its own territory. Israel will immediately respond with an even more violent counter-attack within Iran. What will happen next will be the most dangerous moment in the Middle East since 1973.” he commented.
