Iran Celebrates Strikes on Israel with Flag-Waving Demonstrations

Iranians wave Palestinian and Hezbollah flags as they celebrate the Iranian attack on Israel.

People carrying Iranian, Iraqi and Palestinian flags gathered to express support to Iran for targeting Israeli positions in response to its aggressions.

According to this report, a number of Iraqi citizens also came to the streets in the city of Karbala and supported Iran's missile and drone attacks on the Zionist regime.

Iran's Revolutionary Guards confirmed that a drone and missile attack was underway against Israel in retaliation for a deadly April 1 drone strike on its Damascus consulate.

The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps announced that dozens of drones and missiles were fired at the occupied territories and positions of the Zionist regime.

Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Mohammad Baqeri says Iran has no intention of continuing the operation against Israel, and the operation has been concluded.

The operation was conducted because the Zionist regime had crossed Iran's red line and it was unacceptable, Baqeri said.

"The Zionist regime's act to target Iran's consulate in Damascus and to martyr the Iranian legal advisors who were present in that country upon the invitation of the Syrian government was crossing red lines that all countries except two or three supporters of the Zionist regime condemned," he added.

The senior general further said the Israeli offensive had to be responded to, and the Supreme Leader said this punishment must be done.

The IRGC issued the stern warning in a second statement it released following drone and missile attacks on military sites in the Israeli-occupied territories in retaliation for the regime’s strike on the Iranian consulate in Syria on April 1.
