It is claimed that Iran will launch “Operation True Promise 3”.
New Delhi: The situation in the West Asia region is both the volatile and fragile and it is causing a lot of gruelling tension and anxiety to the residents of the area as well as all over the world. The highly anticipated Iranian retaliatory strikes on Israel have given sleepless nights to almost everyone in the region.
Even as it is claimed that Iran will launch “Operation True Promise 3” to avenge IDF airstrikes and the death of four soldiers, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian on Sunday, November 3, said that his country would respond to Israel’s recent attack on its territory, but its nature and intensity could change if Israel stops its aggression in the region and agrees to a ceasefire.
The Iranian President made this statement while speaking during a Cabinet meeting in Tehran as he observed that leaders from the USA and European countries promised Iran that they would announce a ceasefire in Gaza if Iran abstains from responding to the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, the political leader of the Palestinian group Hamas in July which took place in Tehran.
Pezeshkian said Israel tried to provoke war by assassinating Haniyeh on the first day of our government’s work. Iran showed restraint based on the advice of some countries, hoping to reach a ceasefire and end the killing of innocent women and children.
However, he reiterated Iran’s resolve to respond to the Israeli attack.
“If they reconsider their actions, agree to a ceasefire, and stop killing the oppressed and innocent in the region, this could affect the type and intensity of our response,” said Pezeshkian.
Certain regions of Iran were hit by Israeli airstrikes in the early hours on October 26 in which four soldiers were killed. Consequently, Iran has pledged to avenge the attack.
Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei vowed “a harsh response” against both the US and Israel for their actions against Tehran.
Since then, Israel is in the state of highest level of alert and the USA has brought over the robust and massive B-52 bombers in anticipation of an Iranian attack.
Iran had, on October 1, launched about 200 missiles on Israel in response to the killing of Ismail Haniyeh, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, and Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) commander Abbas Nilforoushan.
