Thousands of Iranian people took to the streets in Tehran, the capital city of Iran and celebrated the launch of unprecedented missile attacks on Israel by changing \u201cdeath to Israel\u201d and \u201cdeath to US\u201d. The pro-government supporters gathered in Tehran\u2019s Palestine Square and waved Iranian and Palestinian national flags alongside banners reading \u201cAllah\u2019s victory is near.\u201d<\/p>\n

The celebration comes as it was the single largest drone attack ever carried out by Iran and it was a direct attack against Israel after almost a half-century of being archenemies. After the recent attack in Syria, Iran\u2019s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has pledged revenge and said that the \u201cevil Israeli regime will be punished.\u201d<\/p>\n
IRGC has dubbed the operation \u201cTrue Promise\u201d and it was an indication that the Iran army wanted to show the supreme leader to make good on their vows of punishment for attacks by Israel. The terms of punishment have circulated since January 2020 when general Qassem Soleimani was assassinated in Iraq. Iranian officials have also tried to maintain strategic patience since last December assassination of another IRGC commander in Syria, Razi Mousavi, in an Israeli air raid.<\/p>\n
Afghanistan supported Iran\u2019s attack on Israel as legitimate<\/strong><\/p>\n Afghanistan has declared Iran\u2019s recent attack on Israel as legitimate and defensive action and called on influential countries to halt the further escalation of the crisis and stop the conflicts in the Gaza Strip.<\/p>\n Taliban Foreign Ministry Spokesman, Abdul Qahar Balkhi said that Iran exercised its legitimate right to self-defense on 14th April in the wake of continuation of Israel\u2019s crimes and its attack on the consulate of Iran in Damascus in contravention of diplomatic norms and international laws.<\/p>\n Since October last year, the \u201czionist\u201d regime has tried to divert world attention away from the genocide of over thirty-three thousand civilians in Gaza by violating airspace of sovereign states and provocations aimed at broadening regional insecurity, Balkhi said, and called on the world leaders to expedite their efforts of halting the crimes of the zionist regime in order to prevent further escalation of the crisis.<\/p>\n Abdullah Abdullah, former head of Afghanistan High Peace Council said that by attacking the consulate of Iran in Syria, Israel violated international law, international conventions on the immunity of diplomatic missions and international custom.<\/p>\n \u201cIran\u2019s response to Israel is considered a defensive measure and a reaction against the violation of Iran’s national sovereignty. The continued brutal killing of innocent Palestinian people in Gaza by Israel and the targeting of children, women, employees of international organizations, doctors and aid workers is the main cause of the crisis and tension at the regional and global level,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n While calling Iran as Afghanistan\u2019s neighbor with religious, historical and cultural commonalities, Abdullah said any action by Israel against Iran has a direct impact on the situation in Afghanistan and unpredictable and unfortunate consequences for the region and world peace and security.<\/p>\n We are in favor of solving regional and international crises through peaceful means and we support any action towards de-escalation, peace and stability, Abdullah added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As Iran released a video clip showcasing some of the military equipment used in its attack against Israel, the Israel Defense Force (IDF) has confirmed that these missiles have caused damage to infrastructure at the Nevatim Air Base in the Hermon area.
