Iran Defends Missile Strikes as Self-Defense
The Iranian consulate in Hyderabad issued a strong statement defending Iran’s missile strikes on Israel. According to the consulate, the attacks were a justified defensive response to what they described as the “aggressive actions of the Zionist regime.” The press release highlighted that Israel had breached the sovereignty of Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, and Iran, prompting the retaliatory strikes.
Response to Israel’s Aggressions
The consulate noted that Iran’s missile attacks on October 1 were not initiated unprovoked but were a reaction to specific aggressive actions by Israel. The strikes targeted military and security installations, aiming to send a clear message to Israel’s leadership. Iran’s consulate emphasized that the missile attacks were triggered by the killings of prominent figures like Ismail Haniyeh, the head of Hamas’ political bureau, and Hezbollah’s Abbas Nilforoushan.
This defensive military action was a long-overdue reaction, reflecting what Iran claims is a responsible approach to maintaining peace and security in the region. The statement specifically criticized Israel’s invasion of Lebanon and the killings of leaders associated with Palestinian and Lebanese resistance movements.
Condemnation of Israeli Policies
The Iranian consulate strongly condemned Israel’s “illegal” and “genocidal” policies, particularly against Palestinians. The consulate said that for over seven decades, Israel has engaged in activities that violate human rights and international laws. They called out the global financial and military backers of Israel, urging them to cease supporting what the consulate referred to as the “colonizing policies” of Israel’s political leadership.
Iran’s missile attacks on Israel were described as carefully targeted, with no intention of hitting civilian sites. The focus, according to the statement, was on military and security installations to minimize further escalation. The consulate general reiterated that Iran missile attacks on Israel were aimed at safeguarding the security of the region.
Call for Global Action and Unity
The Iranian consulate in Hyderabad appealed to the international community, particularly the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), to take immediate and meaningful action. They argued that Israel’s continuous violations pose significant threats to regional and international peace. According to the consulate, global inaction would only embolden Israel to continue its aggressive stance.
The statement also highlighted the need for the international community to unite against human rights violations, terrorism, and civilian casualties in Palestine. Iran’s message was clear: the world must prioritize human dignity and take steps to halt the ongoing violence in the region.
Warning to Israel’s Supporters
In addition to urging the UNSC to act, the Iranian consulate warned nations financially and militarily backing Israel. They claimed that supporting Israel’s policies contributes to instability in the region and prolongs the conflict. Iran’s appeal for restraint from Israel’s backers further underscores their concerns about external influences exacerbating the situation.
The Iranian consulate reiterated that Iran missile attacks on Israel were purely defensive and aimed at preventing further violence. They urged the international community to hold Israel accountable for its actions.
Researchers have used commercial satellite imagery to identify more than 30 points where Iranian missiles appear to have impacted an air base in southern Israel.
The imagery, taken by the company Planet the day after the strike, shows damaged hangars, buildings, taxiways, and a crater on one of the runways at Nevatim Airbase. Videos posted to social media showed multiple warheads striking the base during the Oct. 1 attack by Iran.
