[Regnum] Rear Admiral and head of the press service of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Daniel Hagari said on April 13 that the defense and attack systems of the country's Air Force are on alert - dozens of aircraft are in the sky. He told reporters about this at a briefing. According to Hagari, the IDF assessed the situation and agreed on plans to prepare for an attack from Iran. “We are assessing the situation with our strategic partners, primarily the United States, and maintaining close coordination with them,” Hagari assured. As Regnum reported, the United States assumes that Iran may attack Israeli territory in response to the attack on its consulate in Syrian Damascus in the early morning of April 14, Al Jazeera warned, citing a representative of the American administration. On April 13, US President Joseph Biden interrupted his day off and returned from his residence in Delaware to the White House due to the worsening situation in the Middle East. He intends to hold consultations with his national security aides, the American leader noted in the pool. On the evening of April 1, the Syrian Ministry of Defense announced an Israeli airstrike on the Iranian consulate building in Damascus. According to a source in the Iranian publication Tasnim, at least five people were killed and 12 more were injured in the attack. One of the dead was a commander from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Mohammad Reza Zahedi. Iranian President Ibrahim Raisi promised on April 2 to respond to Israel's attack on the consulate. He condemned the actions of the Israeli military and called them an “inhumane” attack, as well as a clear violation of international law. |
