“Coup will remain in history” –

Iran warns Israel once morest attacking its nuclear power plants, threatening that it might do the same in this case. “If the Zionist regime wants to use the threat of attacking our country’s nuclear centers as a tool to put pressure on Iran, the blow they will receive will be remembered in history”, is the message from the commander of the protection and security corps of Iranian nuclear centers , Brigadier General Ahmed Haq Talab, who warned that Israel’s nuclear centers “are identified.” The Pasdaran also fear a possible change in Tehran’s nuclear doctrine. The threat comes as the world has its eyes on Israel for a possible reaction to Iran’s attack last weekend, which came in response to the April 1 raid on the Iranian consulate in Damascus.

According to ABC News, Israel is unlikely to respond to Iran before the end of Passover, which will begin on April 22 and end on April 30. “The State of Israel should know that it has freedom of action to do what it wants,” said Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, meeting with national intelligence, appealed for unity in the face of the threat from Iran . The unknown on Tel Aviv’s response, which Israel has promised there will be, is intertwined with another open question, that of the Israeli ground offensive in Rafah, a city in southern Gaza where over half of the inhabitants of the Strip, a hypothesis opposed by the international community and in particular by the USA. The newspaper Al-Araby Al-Jadeed reported on an alleged agreement in which the United States would accept the plan for a military operation in Rafah in exchange for a limited response to Iran by Israel. An indiscretion denied by US sources to the Axios newspaper, while the White House then made it known that a virtual meeting was being held between US and Israeli officials to discuss Rafah.

«The Middle East is on the edge of a precipice. A regional conflict that can be devastating for the area and for the entire world”, is the warning of the UN Secretary General, Antonio Guterres, who spoke at the United Nations Security Council. The body anticipated a key vote, the one on Palestine’s full membership of the UN, in which a US veto is expected: according to the Palestinian representative Ziad Abi Amr, this recognition would be “an important pillar for achieving peace”. According to Turkey, if a two-state solution were reached between Israel and Palestine within the borders established in 1967, Hamas would abolish its armed wing. Meanwhile, in the wake of the Iranian response to Israel, new sanctions have been imposed on Iran by the United States and the United Kingdom, while the European Council meeting in Brussels announced that the EU will adopt further restrictive measures once morest Tehran, in particular in relation to drones and missiles. From Capri, where the G7 Foreign Ministerial is taking place, Foreign Minister Antonio Tajani explained that “this is not the place to formally decide what to do, because each country has different rules for imposing sanctions” and “there are different hypotheses », but «the idea is to give a strong signal to Iran so that what happened does not happen once more».
