Escalating war: Israel attacks Iran
13
Jun
Since the early hours of yesterday, the movement in the US embassies
in the Middle East indicated that the Trump administration had authorized the attack on Iran and it happened, and in Russia too the war is escalating, as Ukraine is now attacking military systems on Russian territory.
Defense Minister Israel Katz himself told the press: “After the State of Israel’s pre-emptive strike against Iran, a missile and drone attack against the State of Israel and its civilian population is expected in the near future.” The population is already stockpiling food and looking for protective bunkers.
There were also Russian planes close to the conflict region, indicating strategic support, since Iran is a Russian ally, having supplied drones and Russia supports Iran’s nuclear weapons, one of the main points of conflict between the US and the Israeli government.
Iranian state TV confirmed that the head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Hossein Salami, was killed in the attacks. There are indications that other members of the high command have been killed, but Iran won’t confirm this, but it is only known that Iranian military systems were targeted.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio assures that he is not taking part in the offensive, but that the government aims to protect “interests and personnel” in the region.
In Russia, Ukraine’s kamikaze drones hit the control station of the Navodchik-2 system, which is responsible for commanding the flights of UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles). Russia accuses NATO of direct involvement in the current operations in Ukraine, while Europe expects attacks outside Ukraine, especially by troops concentrated in Belarus.
The region is close to Sumy in northwestern Ukraine, where Russia has concentrated its attacks.
In the early hours of the morning, sirens were sounding in Israel (photo) and in Europe the atmosphere was tense as Russia waited to respond outside Ukraine in the southern countries or in the Baltics.
In Israel there was a motion to call new elections and Netanyahu resisted, the Trump administration is facing demonstrations and protests in various regions of the country, and the war is likely to escalate.
War interests are drowning out the voices of peace, but there is only one way out of civilization without more tragedies and conflicts: diplomacy, that governments return to sanity and dialogue.
Early this morning (13/06) the international community called for a de-escalation and UN Secretary General António Guterres asked Israel and Iran to show maximum restraint.
