Iran on Sunday urged Israel not to retaliate militarily to an unprecedented attack overnight, which Tehran presented as a justified response to a strike that destroyed its consulate building in Damascus earlier this month.
A panoramic view of Jerusalem’s Old City is pictured at dawn of April 14, 2024, after Iran launched a drone and missile attack on Israel . – Iran launched more than 200 drones and missiles on Israel in an unprecedented attack late April 13, 2024, the Israel i army announced, in a major escalation of the long-running covert war between the regional foes.
Late Saturday, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps announced that they had launched “dozens of drones and missiles” towards military sites on Israeli territory. Experts have suggested that Saturday’s slow-moving drone attack was calibrated to represent a show of power but also allow some wiggle room. Hours before the strikes on Saturday, Iran seized an Israeli-linked container ship in the Gulf which Washington called “an act of piracy”.During the night, Tehran also warned the United States, urging them to “stay away” from its conflict with Israel.
Before Tehran launched its attack, Israel warned Iran that it would suffer “the consequences for choosing to escalate the situation any further”.An Israeli attack on Iran’s territory, possibly targeting military or nuclear sites, could not be ruled out, according to experts.
