IRAN WARNS ISRAEL. Iranians lift up a flag and the mock up of a missile during a celebration following Iran’s missiles and drones attack on Israel, on Monday at Palestine square in central Tehran. Iran launched the attack on April 14, its first ever to directly target Israeli territory, in retaliation for a deadly air strike widely blamed on Israel that destroyed Tehran’s consular building in Syria’s capital early this month.
Aiming to bolster Israel’s defenses, including its Iron Dome air defense system, the US House of Representatives approved $13 billion in new military assistance for the country. The Iran attack was itself in retaliation for an air strike—widely blamed on Israel—that levelled the Iranian consulate in Damascus and killed seven Revolutionary Guards on April 1.
“What happened last night was no attack,” Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian told NBC News. While tensions rose after the attack on Iran’s consulate, violence involving Iran-backed groups had already been surging across the Middle East since the outbreak of the Gaza war.
