Jazeera Net-Tehran

Iranian political circles saw the recent Israeli attacks on their allies in Iraq, Syria and Lebanon as a "war looming", while the Iranian government confirmed its support for any response to these attacks.

While no statement was issued at the time of writing by the Iranian Foreign Ministry on the Israeli attacks against Syria, Iraq and Lebanon, Iranian government spokesman Ali Rubaie said that the brazen Israeli attacks will not pass unanswered.

Rubaie referred to the positions of the Secretary General of the Lebanese Hezbollah Hassan Nasrallah yesterday, stressing Tehran's support for any response to the party and the countries of the region to any Israeli aggression, adding that Israel should pay the price of its aggression on the countries of the region, and should not exploit the restraint shown by these countries.

Nasrallah vowed yesterday that Israel would respond to these raids and the fall of two Israeli jets in his stronghold in the southern suburbs of Beirut.

Another flop

On the military front, the commander of the "Quds Force" of the Revolutionary Guards, Major General Qassem Soleimani, described the Israeli military operations against his country's allies as "insane", saying it would be the last operations.

Suleimani vowed - in a brief tweet on his Twitter account - that "these insane operations will undoubtedly be the last flops of the Zionist entity."

In the first comment by General Hussein Alaie, the first commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guards navy on the purpose of the recent Israeli escalation against Iran's allies, he said the goal was to "raise the sensitivity of America and some European and Arab countries to Iran's expansion and influence in the Middle East."

The retired military commander said that Israel is seeking a proxy war that would force America to increase its pressure on Iran, pointing out that the Israeli attacks on Iran's allies in Iraq, Syria and Lebanon, complement the US sanctions on Tehran.

Read on goals

General Alaiy does not rule out that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wanted to compensate for the American defeat, which was the downing of its drone two months ago in the Strait of Hormuz.

On his expectations about the Iranian response to the targeting of the Lebanese resistance movements and the headquarters of the Popular Mobilization in Iraq, Alai explained that "there may not be a need for a direct Iranian response to these violations," because the Lebanese Hezbollah and the Iraqi Popular Mobilization can take on the task.

He concluded that Israel is working to create a rift between the governments of Lebanon and Iraq with Iran by linking security in these two countries with the crackdown on Hezbollah and the Popular Mobilization and the activity of the Iranian Qods Force there.

War on the horizon

For his part, the former head of the National Security and Foreign Policy Committee in the Iranian parliament Heshmatullah Falah Bisha, read the recent Israeli moves in the context of the looming war, and blamed the Zionist entity responsible.

"Netanyahu assaulted the atmosphere of those who are the heroes of victory over the biggest terrorist strife in history," wrote a prominent Iranian lawmaker on Twitter.

Tel Aviv announced that the aerial bombardment on sites southeast of the Syrian capital, an assurance to Tehran not immunity anywhere.

In a press statement, the Iranian MP considered the Israeli attacks on the positions of the Popular Mobilization as an extension of the bombing of Iraqi nuclear facilities "Osirak" in 1981, and warned of the consequences of continuing such violations that would lead to the application of the principle of "similar response" by the axis of resistance and the threat of "borders" " Israeli occupation.

"If Netanyahu does not take this point seriously, he will undoubtedly endanger his security."

The ghost of the meridian

In contrast to Falah Bishah, there are those in Iran who believe that Israel is going too fast and that its actions against what they call the "arms of the resistance" are little more than a clinging to the sunken breath.

He predicted Iranian leader Ali Khamenei four years ago the demise of Israel, and said that "the Zionist entity will not see the next 25 years."

Conservative political activist Mehdi Mohammadi said Israel's actions were more confused than offensive.

"One of the most misleading readings is that one believes that Israel is carrying out offensive operations, as they are hysterical defensive operations resulting from the confusion and confusion they have," said a member of the Iranian delegation to the nuclear negotiations during the era of former President Ahmadinejad.

The Iranians launched two days ago, marking the "temporary entity" on the platforms to express their anger over the Israeli attacks on their allies in what they call the axis of resistance.

Some Iranian websites, based on Khamenei's previous opinion, have also launched countdown windows for Israel's demise.
