On the impact of Iranian accusations against Israel of its involvement in an attack on a military facility in Isfahan;

International reactions and expectations of the Iranian response to this attack continued, especially since Israel refrained from commenting on Western reports confirming its involvement in the attack.

What will Tehran do?

The picture has become clearer for Tehran with regard to the attack - which it initially described as mysterious - on an Iranian army facility in Isfahan, and accused Tel Aviv of being behind the attack, according to indications that investigations continue to examine to reach complete certainty, but the leaders of Israel abstain. Confirming or denying reports that she was involved in the attack.

Instead, Tel Aviv invests in a convergence of views with Washington regarding the Iranian nuclear file.

A desire to push it toward full diplomatic, or even military, convergence.

What will Iran do?

These statements came in light of the atmosphere of escalation in the region, as an Iranian official confirmed that Israel knows very well that it will receive a response, and that whoever plays with fire will be the first to burn in the event of a regional war.

This was confirmed by the former Iranian diplomat, Muhammad Mahdi Shariatmadari - in his statements to the “Beyond the News” program (30/1/2023) - when he saw that Iran would not be provoked by this type of operation, but rather it would work to implement its integrated project in the region, indicating that when The response to the Zionist entity requires taking into account the regional and international powers.

Shariatmadari also said that this operation is not new of its kind, and that the response will not be in the hands of Iran, but rather through the resistance within the Palestinian interior and its allied forces, stressing that the attack on Iran or the involvement of the Zionist entity in mutual military operations will lose many, and that Iran does not want to fight war in these regional conditions, just as the Zionist entity is aware of the consequences of any possible war;

Therefore, he resorts to such operations.

And the counterattack between Iran in the face of Israel and America.

Did America intervene?

Regarding the American intervention in the attack, Shariatmadari made it clear that there is joint security coordination between Israel and America, inferring from that Blinken's visit to his Israeli counterpart and the statements of Israeli officials that talk about the common destiny with Washington, as well as America's silence regarding this process that makes the finger of blame point at America, whether She admitted or resorted to denying her involvement in the process.

He also asked about the relationship of the Zionist entity to the military exchange between Iran and Russia, unless it is linked to the Western parties, indicating that their claim is a clear indication of the American involvement.

Seymour believed that some of the Israeli attacks targeting Iran were not coordinated with America, as Washington objected to them, but he did not clearly disclose whether America gave the green light to Israel to launch this attack.

Then he added, saying that the attack targeted a facility for the manufacture of drones, which makes it logical to consult with America, because by supporting this attack, the task will be difficult for Iran to provide Russia with weapons in its war on Ukraine.

In the context of the American position regarding the attack, it is mentioned that the US Secretary of State, who visited Israel before heading to Ramallah on his Middle East tour;

He said he agreed with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Iran could not have nuclear weapons.

In an American-Israeli convergence in terms of statements, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that his policy is to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, and he will do everything in his power to achieve this.

The Israeli Foreign Minister also praised, during his meeting with his American counterpart, the joint struggle against the Iranian nuclear program.

It is noteworthy that, in terms of international interactions regarding the attack on the Isfahan military facility, the Russian Foreign Ministry condemned the attack, and warned of what it described as provocative actions that might spark an escalation in an already inflamed situation.

Moscow added that such destructive actions may have unexpected consequences for peace and stability in the Middle East.
