“Won’t Hesitate To…”: Iran After Launching Missile Barrage At Israel
Israel: Iran today fired armed drones and missiles against Israel, marking a new volatile phase of the Middle East conflict. The attack, in retaliation for a strike in Syria that killed top Iranian military officers, was the first time Iran has struck Israel from its soil.
In a statement, Iran said that the attack was carried out in self-defence against the Israeli military’s “aggression”. It said the action was a “legitimate” defensive response to the strike in Damascus — which Israel hasn’t acknowledged carrying out — and suggested it was a warning. It also warned the US to stay away from the conflict.
“On 14 April 2024, the Islamic Republic of Iran’s armed forces have carried out a series of military strikes on Israeli’s military bases in response to, and in exercise of its inherent right of self-defense as recognized under Article 51 of the Charter, against Israel’s recurring military aggressions, resulting in the martyrdom of the Iranian military advisors present in Syria,” Iran’s mission to the United Nations said in its statement.
