Iran’s massive drone and missile attack on Israel on April 14 night, in retaliation against the bombing of its embassy compound in Damascus, Syria two weeks earlier escalated tensions to levels not seen in West Asia in decades
In the past, Iran has used its proxies or targeted Israeli assets in other countries in response to Israel’s attacks on its officials in Damascus.
But this time, Tehran’s weapons barrage from its soil targeted Israel proper
Israel, with help from the U.S., the U.K., France and Jordan, intercepted “99%” of the Iranian projectiles
West asian unrest started when Hamas launched a murderous attack from the blockaded Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023, leaving an open wound in Israel’s collective psyche.
Since then, Israel has been carrying out a vengeful, genocidal attack of Gaza.
The U.S., Israel’s most influential ally, failed to rein in Tel Aviv when it went on a rampage in Gaza and launched multiple attacks in the region, including the extremely dangerous bombing of Iran’s embassy compound.
Iran, which backs Hezbollah, Hamas and the Houthis, also failed to show any restraint
