Iran retaliates

Sunday, 14 April 2024 — LauraRu

Good morning everyone!  Let’s recap last night’s pyrotechnics. For the first time Iran has launched a full-scale military assault on the Zionist entity with kamikaze drones and ballistic missiles – the attack was in retaliation for the strike on its Damascus consulate on April 1 that killed seven Revolutionary Guards officers, including two senior commanders.

▪️Senior US official told ABC News: There will be anywhere from 400 to 500 drones and missiles launched at “Israel” from Iraq, Syria, southern Lebanon, and Yemen but the bulk will be launched from Iran.
▪️ 00.40 – IRNA citing an informed source: The first batch of ballistic missiles has been launched.
▪️00:58 – The Islamic Resistance in Lebanon – Hezbollah says it attacked the air and missile defense headquarters in the “Keila” barracks in the occupied Syrian Golan with dozens of Katyusha rockets.                                                                                         ▪️02:00 – IRGC has begun launching the third batch of ballistic missiles toward “Israel”: Al Mayadeen’s correspondent.
▪️02:10 – US military shot down Iranian drone aircraft headed toward “Israel”: Reuters citing three US officials.                                                                                       ▪️03:17 – Tasnim citing an informed source: If the Zionists retaliate after the ongoing punitive operation ends, the next punishment will be immediate and more severe.                             ▪️04:02 – Israeli Media: The Biden-Netanyahu conversation ended, the American president asked Netanyahu not to respond to the Iranian attack.
▪️04:48 – US defense secretary asks Israeli counterpart to notify US ahead of any potential response to Iranian attack: CNN

🔺US and British warplanes were involved in shooting down some drones over the Iraq-Syria border area, Channel 12 reported.                                                                                                 🔺The UK government said it was sending additional fighter planes to the Middle East.    🔺Benjamin Netanyahu has convened his war cabinet at military headquarters in Tel Aviv, his office said.

▪️Glaring double standards: the European Union, Britain, France, the Czech Republic, Denmark, the Netherlands…(the list is growing) were quick to condemn Iran’s attack, though Iran attacked in self defence in accordance with Article 51 of the UN Charter. Iran’s attack is targeting only military facilities in response to the Israeli terrorist attack on the Iranian consulate in Damascus, which these vassal states didn’t condemn.
