Iran Threatens France, Britain, and the US Over Israel Support
Iranian Threats Ignite Middle East Tension
Here's the lowdown on the latest Middle East chaos! Seems like Tehran's got some beef with the US and Israel, and they're not holding back.
According to Iranian military officials chatting with the Fars agency, Tehran's got its sights set on attacking American targets across the Middle East. Plus, they're not done sparring with Israel, either. Word on the street is, they've got a bone to pick with any country that steps up to defend the Jewish state.
Remember back in June 2021 when things were heating up between Israel and Iran? That's right, they went toe-to-toe! Israel took matters into its own hands, launching a nocturnal operation against a Iranian facility due to nuclear bomb fears. The attack claimed lives and left others injured—at least 78 fatalities and over 320 wounded.
Iran didn't take kindly to that and struck back on June 14, with rockets and drones targeting Israel. The hits left four dead and around 70 injured in Rishon Letzion. Among the chosen targets were the Ministry of Defense headquarters in Tel Aviv and military airbases in Tel Nof and Nevatim.
The US tried to distance itself from the conflict, denying any involvement in Israel's operation against Iran. Secretary of State Marco Rubio emphasized the US priority is to protect its own forces in the region. With tensions rising, Rubio warned Iran against actions threatening US interests. Just before the Israeli attack, the US evacuated military and diplomatic personnel from the Middle East.
So, what about international support for Israel during the incident? Reports by Axios suggest that the US played a role in defending Israel against Iranian attacks, even giving the Jewish state a green light for the operation. However, the UK government denies involvement in the attack or defense of Israel. French President Emmanuel Macron hopped onboard, stating his readiness to participate in Israel's defense from Iranian attacks—yup, he thinks Israel has the right to self-defense.
