Israel will destroy Iran if it starts attacking them. Israel’s Foreign Minister Katz and Defense Minister Yoav Galant issued a warning amid the possibility of conflict between the two countries. On the 1st of this month, Israel destroyed the Iranian consulate in Damascus, the capital of Syria.
Seven Iranians were killed, including Iran’s top commander. US and Israeli security sources have said this means Iran will almost certainly retaliate “in some form”, and reports suggest an attack may be imminent.
Now Iran is preparing to attack Israel. However, Iran did not indicate whether the attack was inside Israel or against Israeli facilities in the Middle East. Iran has already stated that it is ready for war and will retaliate against Israel. Israel has been on alert since the attack. Army leave has been canceled and air defenses have been strengthened. Even navigation signals over Tel Aviv have been eliminated to disrupt the course of the missiles because GPS-navigated drones or missiles could be fired.
13 people, including two senior generals of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, were killed in the consulate attack. Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei reiterated yesterday that Israel should be punished. Iran’s foreign minister spoke on the phone with the foreign ministers of Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Iraq and the UAE, Iran’s foreign ministry said on Wednesday.
Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdullahian spoke individually with each foreign country and stressed the importance of cooperation on the situation in Gaza, and the phone calls came after US Middle East envoy Brett McGurk called on the foreign ministers of Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Iraq and the UAE to send a message to Iran and urge it to de-escalate tensions with Israel. What happened
Iran’s Foreign Ministry has also held talks with Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, the Iranian Foreign Ministry said. The ministers discussed the war in Gaza and the “reactions and consequences” of the attack on the Iranian consulate in Syria.
US President Joe Biden said that Israel should implement a unilateral ceasefire in Gaza and that the war strategy of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is wrong. Biden called for an immediate six- to eight-week ceasefire in Gaza.
Biden’s remarks come amid growing US dissatisfaction with Israel’s moves. At the same time, the White House later explained that there was no change in the US approach to Israel and that Hamas was responsible for the delay in the ceasefire agreement.
The US and its allies are preparing to counter Iran’s possible attack on Israeli and US headquarters in the Middle East in retaliation for last week’s deadly attack on the Iranian consulate.
Meanwhile, three sons of Hamas’ political leader Ismail Haniyeh were killed in an Israeli airstrike in Gaza on Wednesday, a killing that threatens to complicate ongoing talks aimed at securing a ceasefire and hostage agreement.
The Israeli military confirmed the attack, describing the leaders’ sons as “three Hamas military operatives who carried out terrorist acts in the central Gaza Strip.” But two other Israeli officials said neither Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu nor Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Galant were told about the attack in advance.
Hamas has indicated that it is currently unable to identify and locate the 40 Israeli hostages required for the first phase of the proposed cease-fire agreement, an Israeli official and negotiators said. The Israeli military has jammed GPS signals in several cities, including the Tel Aviv metropolitan area and Jerusalem, to thwart possible missile or drone attacks by Iran or Iran-backed groups. Jamming has disrupted daily life across Israel,
Iran has seen Israel and the US through the same lens since the Islamic Revolution. The current Iranian government describes Israel as the ‘Little Devil’ and the US as the ‘Big Devil’. Iran’s nuclear capabilities are a concern for both countries. Israel and Iran are often attacked, but both countries usually deny it. Hence it is called ‘shadow war’.
Lebanon is also involved in the shadow war between the two countries. Israel’s incursion into Lebanon and Hezbollah’s rocket attacks have caused tensions. The civil war in Syria has also added to the conflict. With the possibility of Iran-Israel conflict confirmed, US President Joe Biden called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the phone and assured his support. But after this, Iran also warned the US to stay away from the conflict.
