On Iran's Response to Israeli Attacks

On April 13th, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corp, the military of the Republic of Iran, launched a series of drone and cruise missiles towards targets of the Zionist government in the interior of occupied Palestine in response to Israel’s attack on the Iranian embassy in Syria. This Israeli attack was a complete violation of International Humanitarian Law and international norms of diplomacy, and demonstrates the bloodthirsty killing frenzy and expansionist aggression that has underlined the Zionist regime from the start. Iran’s counter attack is not only acceptable within Articles 7 and 51 of the United Nations Charter concerning the legitimate defense of states, but comes after months of Iran warning Israel, the US and the UN that unprovoked attacks against its sovereignty and people would trigger a response.
