Israel has responded after Iran's attack on October 1. The fear that had been brewing for about 26 days finally came true. This time, instead of attacking only Iran, Israel has also bombed Iraq and Syria. Along with Iraq and Iran, Israel has also currently closed its airspace to passenger flights. The first official statement comes from Iran about the Israeli attack. Iran's Air Defense has admitted that Israel has attacked parts of some military bases in Tehran, Khuzestan and Ilam province.
According to information, Israel has attacked Iran's air defense system. Israel's second and third targets were missile and drone bases, as well as production sites. Iran's reaction came in response to Israel's midnight attack. Israel has fired rockets and bombs at many cities in Iran. 100 Israeli fighter jets entered Iran's airspace and carried out a major attack. The Israeli army has attacked Iranian military bases. In addition to Iran, Syria and Iraq have also been targeted.
Israel took revenge for this attack.
Iran had fired a total of 180 ballistic missiles one after another at Israeli cities on the intervening night of October 1 and 2. The attack of these missiles into the Israeli sky seemed terrifying. This attack occurred without provocation. Iran carried out two major attacks against Israel this year. The first attack took place in April, when 130 missiles were fired. The second attack took place in October when 180 missiles were fired. And these two attacks are now costing Iran dearly. The rhetoric between the two countries is also intense.
After the attack, the rhetoric between Israel and Iran is intense. The Israeli military has threatened Iran and said that if Iran now tries to react, we are prepared in every way. Meanwhile, Iranian MP Ahmed Azzam said that we have all the rights of self-defense. Meanwhile, all eyes are on the stance of other countries, including the United States, on the airstrike. Israeli media reports claim that the United States has also asked Iran not to retaliate.
The advice of the United States and Great Britain to Iran
A senior White House official said the response was proportionate. We send a message to Iran that if it retaliates we will protect Israel. Israeli strikes against military targets in Iran appear to be selective and proportionate. Now the shooting between them should end. At the same time, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has warned Iran to avoid retaliating and to keep thoughts of revenge out of its mind.
What was the reaction of Muslim countries?
Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement condemning the attack. He said the Arab world condemns the Israeli military attack on Iran. This is a violation of Iranian sovereignty and a violation of international law. Meanwhile, Malaysia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement calling it a clear violation of international law. “Malaysia calls for an immediate cessation of hostilities and an end to the cycle of violence,” the statement said. Israel's continued attacks on Middle Eastern countries are bringing the region to the brink of generalized war.
Pakistan also condemned the attack, saying: “Israel is entirely responsible for the current cycle of escalation and expansion of the conflict.”
