Israeli War Cabinet Says No Going Back On Attack On Iran In 'Clear And Decisive' Manner

Despite international pressure and calls for restraint amid fears of an escalation of conflict in the Middle East, the Israeli war cabinet and forces have vowed to respond to Iran's aggression attack in what they tagged a “clear and decisive” manner.

The Israeli cabinet, according to Reuters’s report, said that they awaited word on how Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, would respond to Iran's first-ever direct attack.

A government source reportedly said that Netanyahu on Monday summoned his war cabinet for the second time in less than 24 hours after Iran's attack, to weigh a response to the massive weekend missile and drone attack.

It was gathered that while the attack caused no deaths and little damage, following the intervention of the air defences and countermeasures of Israel and its allies, the attack has increased concerns that violence rooted in the Gaza war in Palestine is spreading, and there is fear of open war between the two countries that have been long-time enemies.

Reuters reports that Israeli military chief of staff, Herzi Halevi, on Monday said that "This launch of so many missiles, cruise missiles and drones into Israeli territory will be met with a response" but gave no further details.

Meanwhile, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister, Ali Bagheri Kani, told state TV on Monday night that Tehran's response to any Israeli retaliation would come in "a matter of seconds, as Iran will not wait for another 12 days to respond".

However, the prospect of Israeli retaliation has reportedly alarmed many Iranians already enduring economic pain and tighter social and political controls since protests in 2022-2023.

It was believed that Iran launched the attack on Israel in retaliation for an airstrike on its embassy compound in Damascus on April 1 attributed to Israel, and signalled that it did not seek further escalation.

Meanwhile, the U.S. President, Joe Biden, told Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu at the weekend that the United States, which helped Israel blunt the Iranian attack, would not participate in an Israeli counter-strike.

Recall that since the war in Gaza began in October, clashes have erupted between Israel and Iran-aligned groups based in Lebanon, Syria, Yemen and Iraq.

Israel said that four of its soldiers were wounded hundreds of metres inside Lebanese territory overnight, the first known Israeli ground penetration into Lebanon since the Gaza war erupted, although it has traded fire with the Lebanese Hezbollah militia.

The European Union's foreign affairs chief, Josep Borrell, was quoted as telling Spanish radio station Onda Cero that, "We're on the edge of the cliff and we have to move away from it."

French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and British Foreign Secretary David Cameron made similar appeals. Washington and U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres also have called for restraint.

However, the White House national security spokesman, John Kirby, on Monday refused to say if Biden had urged Netanyahu in talks on Saturday night to exercise restraint in responding to Iran.

[b]Kirby said, "We don't want to see a war with Iran. We don't want to see a regional conflict," adding that it was for Israel to decide "whether and how they'll respond".

Israel should stop this warmongering behavior and give peace a chance.


You can't be right all the time, admit when you're wrong

God1000:

And Iran aren't warmongers?

Why did their dead General plan the October 7 attack?

Faithful007:

Iran said they had nothing to do with the October 7 attack, that Hamas acted on their own.


Did you also believe US when they said Israel didn't inform them before striking Iran's consulate in Syria?

Wahala!

E be like these people attacking Israel didn't study history or read the Bible.

Israel has always been a waring nation, and it only loses when God says it will!

This may be the time to start #PrayForIran!

K

It’s all a game people, glad Israel respected Iran’s mechanism to protect their dignity


If the war is not going to be totally against Iran they would have initiated the war in full scale, we all know human instincts.

Ordinary Israeli civilians is reason why Gaza is being leveled talk less of military generals

Real war is coming, but it can be avoid.

Meanwhile we sell iron rods

Plausible Deniability.

Sources within Iran alluded him to be the mastermind.

FG should provide free flight for our Muslim brothers in the North who wants to go and fight for Iran

We Yoruba Muslims don't support terrorism, Iran made a mistake

I've nothing to say. Lemme book space first

My observation comes first with the guy named Righteousness/holiness.

It baffles me how this guy quotes bible here and then and then supports killing/war/bloodshed etc. each time I read his comment, indaboski comes to mind.

If you're a Christian/Muslim and you support war/killing of another soul, you're not of God but of the devil.

May God deliver us from hypocritical Muslims and Christians on this platform

Wahala

Israel defense budget for 2024 is around $155 billion while Iran’s defense budget is around $20 billion.


IDF will completely annihilate Iran without the help of the US.

When I see people shouting Russia, I can only laugh at their ignorance

Russia’s economy has been depleted by sanctions, can’t even compete with Israel’s military.

They can’t do simple research .. Americas defense budget is over a trillion dollars ..
Do you think that money is for eating KFC ?

Other noise making nations have been showing off their weapons, .The day the US will reveal their weapons, the whole world will shiver.

I love Israel

Before you people put Iran in trouble and later start crying, let me tell you about what happened in 1981.

At the time, Sadam Hussein, President of IRAQ was threatening to bomb Israel with nuclear weapons back.

Israel cannot just wait and sit while he threatens them, so they hatched a plan to fok him up.

They sent 8 modifies F16s. The plans couldn't carry enough fuel, so they fabricated a bigger tank so d plan can carry enough fuel into and out of Iraq. These jets were then escorted by 6 F15 fighters. The F15 was in case Kasala burst, they can engage Iraqi jets in air to air combat.

These planes were piloted by men who swore to die on the mission.

They flew those jets at just around 200m above ground across the desert to avoid radar. For perspective, a typical plane on international route flies at around 10,000m.

Israel went into Iraq, bombed their nuclear reactors n left with zero resistance.

Today, Israel has 39 F35 jets with almost 200 F16s. The best fighter jet Iran has are 24 Russian Mig-29...a 40 year old relic by today's standards

My question is, do you think Israel can repeat what they did in 1981?

Iran with all their noise, have zero combat experience relative to Isreal.

The nuclear power they are shouting about, Israel most likely has double of it but they will never ever admit they have nuclear. This smart denial has meant nobody can come to inspect what they are doing, since kuku claim they don't have nuclear.

"We do not have nuclear weapons, but if we have to use nuclear weapons, we will use them" Golda Meir (Former Isreali leader)


If it was this woman that was still Prime Minister, n not Natanyahu, everywhere go don scatter.

My guts tell me the world powers are telling Israel not to attack in public, but in private, they are showing them exactly where all Iran's nuclear reactors n oil installations are, n urging them to strike.

Before you people push Iran with your mouth, know exactly what you are getting into. Peace

Na waoo, make them rest now

Where those NL motivational speakers

Wey send Iran go buy market 😂

I thought they destroyed all Iranian missiles and drones? So, what are they retaliating for? Except if there is something they are not saying.

Hmm

Israel needs to teach Iran the lesson of a century. It will be hot for the terrorist country of Iran.

USA should take it's fatherly role and appease both parties instead of taking sides.
Iran is not Palestine, this is gonna go ugly.
God help humanity

Fff

Iran has exposed their weakness by launching projectiles that travels for hours in the air so much that 99.9 per cent were intercepted by technologically superior Israel.

The main fear isn't weather Israel can subdue the learner, Iran or cause an escalation in the middle east. But the danger of degenerating into a full war involving humanity as a whole.

It isn't going to be fun when this adds to our already messy economy and the global community.

Attack na

Iran no be Gaza

Body go tell you
