Tensions in the Middle East have increased. The Iranian Revolutionary Guards confirmed early this morning (14th) that they had launched a large number of drones and missiles towards Israel in retaliation for the deadly attack on its Damascus consulate on April 1.
The Israeli military also confirmed that Iran has launched more than 200 drone attack aircraft towards Israel. In response, a spokesman for the White House National Security Council said:
"President Biden has made clear that our support for Israel's security is rock solid...The United States will stand with the Israeli people and support their defense against threats from Iran."
Iran's UN mission: Military operation has ended
Fortunately, it seems that the situation will not escalate again. The Iranian UN delegation issued a statement at 6 o'clock this morning stating:
Iran's military action was conducted under Article 51 of the United Nations Charter on Lawful Defense and in response to the Zionist regime's aggression against our diplomatic mission in Damascus.
This matter can be considered concluded for now. However, if the Israeli regime makes another mistake, Iran's response will be even harsher.
This is a conflict between Iran and the rogue regime of Israel, and the United States must stay away!
Previously, U.S. officials also revealed that Iran has told Washington that it will not act hastily and prevent the situation from escalating. The counterattack may be launched by its proxy militia groups to avoid triggering a regional war that would force the US military to take action; the Israeli military said that Israel is on alert and that they are fully prepared for various situations.
