Iran threatens Israel in opposition to violence: world powers desire moderation.
Iran threatened Israel along with the US on Sunday, April 14, 2024, of a considerably greater reaction if there is any harm after its massive drone and also missile strike on Israeli land overnight, while Israel stated that “the fight is not done currently.” Iran conducted the attack in response to an Israeli raid on its embassy in Syria on April 1, 2024, which killed top Revolutionary Guards commanders and came after months of conflicts between Israel and Iran’s neighboring nations raised by the Gaza battle.
The danger of open combat rising between the two Middle Eastern enemies, including the United States, has raised tensions in the area, with Washington stating that it does not desire to clash with Iran but is prepared to fight to defend its forces as well as Israel. Anyway, the attack by more than 100 missiles and drones, almost all of which were fired from within Iran, did minor harm in Israel since the majority had shots fired with the assistance of the United States, Britain, and Jordan. An Air Force installation in southern Israel was damaged but continued to operate normally; however, a child who was seven years old suffered severe injuries from shrapnel.

There were no more reports of significant damage. “We monitored, we rejected, and jointly we will succeed,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wrote on social media before a military cabinet meeting at (1230 GMT) to decide the reaction to the attack. While stopping the attack, Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant stated that the military effort had not ended and that “we have to be ready to deal with any possibility.” According to Israel’s Channel (12 TV), a top Israeli official warned overnight that the strike would result in a “strong reaction.” Iranian Foreign Minister Amir Abdollahian claimed Tehran notified the US that its strike on Israel would be “very limited” and for self-defense. He explained that Israel’s neighbors were further informed of its designed attacks (72 hours) in advance.
International superpowers Russia, China, France, and Germany, along with Arab nations Egypt, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates, recommended moderation. “We will do every aspect to avoid more escalated situation,” German Chancellor Olaf Scholz informed reporters during his trip to China. “We can only advise everybody, particularly Iran, against going on in this manner.” Major General Mohammad Bagheri, the Iranian army chief of staff, said on television that “our reply would be much more powerful than tonight’s military operation whenever Israel attacks opposed to Iran,” and threatened Washington that its bases may be smashed if it supported Israel in reaction.
