War has erupted in the Middle East. Hamas-Israel tussle over the Gaza Strip. Now Iran has also jumped into it. Iran fired missiles at Israel on Saturday. More than 200 deadly missiles were used this time. Missiles were rained down. Israel’s Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari has made this claim. US President Joe Biden explained that we stand with Israel against this attack by Iran.
Hezbollah active
Concerns have grown in the Middle East. Hamas and Iran’s Hezbollah are terrorist organisations. Israel has waged a war against Hamas. A war broke out between the two after Hamas attacked Israel. Hezbollah has a large presence in Iran and Lebanon. This organisation has a strong hold in this area. Hezbollah has already attacked Israel in support of Hamas.
Israel attacked Iranian Embassy
Iran, which is supporting Hezbollah, has launched a direct attack on Israel. On Saturday, Iran rained missiles on Israel. Iran has carried out this attack claiming that Israel caused the death of some of our officers in the Damascus embassy. According to Iran’s claim, the Damascus embassy was attacked by Israel. The attack took place on April 1. Iran claims several officers were killed in the attack, including a senior commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps overseas Quds Force. Iran has explained that this is a revenge for the air strike by Israel.
We will teach Israel a lesson
Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, supported the attack on Israel. He warned that we will teach Israel a lesson for killing our officers in airstrikes. He alleged that this is somehow an attack on our country’s sovereignty. He also explained that Israel will have to pay for it. Therefore, there is a high possibility that this war will flare up further. The United Nations has also expressed concern over it.
Why did Iran attack?
On April 1, Israel carried out an air strike on the Iranian embassy in Syria. Israel had sent a strong message to Iran by air strike. If Iran helps extremist organisations like Hamas and Hezbollah, they will be attacked. 13 people including two top Iranian commanders were killed in the Israeli attack. Iran then threatened to retaliate against Israel. Accordingly, after the end of the month of Ramadan, Iran attacked Israel.
What did the Prime Minister of Israel say?
After the attack by Iran, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called a meeting of military officers and important officials and told the country to respond strongly to this attack. He also demanded an urgent meeting of the United Nations Security Council. UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said, “I condemn in the strongest terms Iran’s attack on Israel.” The world cannot afford World War III.
