This is the best summary I could come up with:
ISTANBUL — From President Ebrahim Raisi on down, Iranian officials are heaping praise on the attack the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps launched against Israel Sunday.
Iran’s Islamic Republic News Agency reported that a top Iranian lawmaker, Mojtaba Zonnouri, said the IRGC’s “punitive operation” was a “victory” and “was a cause of pride for the people as it humiliated the Israeli regime.”
At the United Nations in New York, Iran’s Ambassador Amir Saeid Iravani declared the operation was “completely in line with the Islamic Republic’s inherent right to self-defense” after an airstrike in Damascus killed seven IRGC members, including two generals, on April 1.
Israeli media reported that the Nevatim Airbase in southern Israel’s Negev Desert had been struck but no significant damage had been caused.
Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh, said the intention was to hit the Nevatim Airbase and the Israel Defense Forces intelligence center at Mt.
What that may mean for the way Washington goes about supporting its closest Middle East ally, and for Israel’s approach to maintaining its own security, is likely to be the subject of much discussion and planning over the coming weeks and months.
