On April 1, Israeli forces hit the Iranian consulate in Damascus, the capital of Syria, and 7 people, including 2 generals, died in this attack. It has been wondered what Iran, which reacted very harshly to this Israeli attack, will do since then. Israel, on the other hand, stated that they would not step back from the point of attack against possible attacks by Iran, and upon this statement, the USA began to increase its military intensity in the region. Last night, when Iran-backed Lebanese Hezbollah started firing dozens of missiles at Israel, the international community’s opinion that it is only a matter of time before Iran intervenes has become even stronger. Iran also received a very harsh reaction to the US military activity in the region. Iran publicly threatened the USA and said, “If you do not stay away, we will strike.”
“TILL TODAY EVENING AT THE LATEST…”
US President Joe Biden stated that they would protect Israel against attacks from Iran. The US media, based on intelligence sources, claimed that Iran would launch a retaliatory attack by tonight at the latest.
ATTENTION-DRAWING MOVE FROM THE USA
A remarkable development took place before the possible Iranian attack. The US aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower moved north in the Red Sea.
ATTACK FROM HIZBULLAH ON ISRAEL
While the world’s eyes turned to Iran after this statement, Hezbollah from the south of Lebanon launched a rocket attack on Israel. The Hezbollah Movement made a statement about the attack it carried out from the south of Lebanon to the north of Israel. It was stated that Israel’s Al Zaur military base in Upper Jalil was hit by dozens of Katyusha missiles in response to the attacks carried out by Israeli forces against the south of Lebanon.
STATEMENT FROM ISRAEL
The Israeli army made a statement about the attack from Hezbollah. In the statement, it was noted that 40 missiles were launched from Lebanon to the north of Israel and some of them were hit by the iron dome system and the rest fell on empty land. Additionally, the statement stated that there was no loss of life in Hezbollah’s attack.
BIDEN: WE DEDICATE OURSELVES TO THE DEFENSE OF ISRAEL
US President Joe Biden stated that Iran’s retaliation against Israel, which hit the consulate building in the embassy compound in Syria on April 1, could happen “at any time.” Speaking to reporters at the White House, Biden was asked about Iran’s possible attack on Israel.
Asked how soon Iran could attack Israel, Biden said, “I would like to receive reliable information, but my expectation is that it could happen at any time.” he said.
Biden warned Iran not to attack Israel, saying, “We are committed to the defense of Israel. We will support Israel. We will help defend Israel, and Iran will not be successful.” he said.
Israel carried out an air attack on the consulate building in Iran’s embassy campus in Damascus on April 1. A total of 7 people from the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, 2 of whom were generals, died in the attack.
Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei stated that Israel’s attack on the Iranian consulate in Damascus meant an attack on his country’s territory and said, “The bad regime made a mistake, it should and will be punished.” He used the expression.
US President Joe Biden also stated that they will continue to provide “unwavering” support to Tel Aviv in the face of Iran’s attack threats against Israel.
FROM IRAN TO THE USA: IF YOU DON’T STAY AWAY, WE WILL HIT YOU
Three US officials speaking to Axios said Iran sent a message to the Biden administration through several Arab countries earlier this week: If the US gets involved in the conflict between Israel and Iran, US forces in the region will be attacked.
In the news, ‘Iran’s message was that if the USA intervened after Iran’s attack on Israel, US bases in the region would be attacked.’ It was said.
