[周刊王CTWANT] Iranian sources pointed out that Tehran has sent a signal to Washington that it will retaliate against Israel’s attack on its Syrian embassy in Syria on April 1 that killed 14 people “in a way that avoids a serious escalation of the situation” and will not act hastily. In this regard, Washington officials also pointed out that the United States is seeking to prevent Iran from retaliating against Israel through its commitment to Israel’s security, and at the same time trying to prevent the expansion of regional conflicts. Deutsche Lufthansa also announced an “extended suspension” of flights to Tehran until the 13th due to concerns about Iran’s retaliation against Israel.
comprehensive”Reuters》、《Guardian” reported that sources said that Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian expressed Iran’s position to Washington during his visit to the Gulf Arab country Oman on the 7th, that is, its position on Damascus, Syria. The retaliation for the embassy attack will be “controlled” and “non-escalatory” and will not be rushed. Iran will plan to “use regional proxies to launch multiple attacks against Israel.” It is reported that Oman often acts as a proxy for Tehran and Mediator between Washington.
In response, a White House spokesman refused to comment on any signals sent by Iran, saying only that the United States had communicated with Iran and claiming that it was not involved in the attack on the Iranian embassy. The Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Omani government did not respond to media requests for comment.
The report pointed out that Iran is weighing how to respond to the Israeli attack to prevent Israel from finding an excuse to take further retaliatory measures and to prevent the United States from falling into the dilemma of military escalation. However, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei still stated on the 10th that Israel “must be punished and should be punished” and said that the incident on April 1 was equivalent to an attack on Iranian territory. The Pentagon also confirmed that, Israel does need to take responsibility for this.
Tehran has never actively intervened in the Israel-Kazakhstan war. Instead, it attacks Israel through the Iraqi, Yemeni and Lebanese militias it supports to prevent regional conflicts from directly spilling over to Iran itself. Iran-backed Shia Muslim militias have also not attacked U.S. troops in Syria and Iraq since early February. However, Israel’s attack on April 1 ended up killing 14 people, including Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Zahedi, commander of the Quds Force of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), and seven other military officers, leading to tense situations. upgrade.
U.S. officials also believe that Iran may use missiles or drones to attack Israeli targets in the next few days. U.S. State Department spokesman Matthew Miller told reporters on the 11th that U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken has revealed Through the phone call, it was made clear to diplomatic counterparts in China, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Europe that “the escalation of the situation is not in the interest of any country, and all countries should urge Iran not to retaliate.”
The report also analyzed that although Biden stated on the 10th that “the United States will stand with Israel and oppose any threats from Iran and its proxies,” if Iran does attack Israel, the United States may urge Israel to respond cautiously in order to Prevent regional conflicts from escalating repeatedly and dragging the US military into another war. However, Amir Abdullahian did not cancel his plan to go to the United Nations Headquarters in New York next week, which also raised questions about the possibility of Iran launching an attack on Israeli territory.
In response, Russia and Germany have both urged Iran to exercise restraint, while Moscow has warned its citizens not to travel to the Middle East. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Russia is currently not asking for reconciliation between Iran and Israel because Israel’s attack on the Iranian consulate did violate all principles of international law.
