Iran threatens to retaliate against Israel for killing Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran.
In the coming hours, the world will witness “important and unusual events.” This was said by a presenter on Iranian state television on Friday, August 2. The video was quoted by a number of world media, which saw it as an “announcement” of an attack on Israel. The video also appeared on the social networks of the Iranian publication Iran’s Today.
“In a few hours, the whole world will see interesting and unusual events,” said the presenter of one of Iran’s TV channels.
In the midst of these messages, the sky in Israel became empty. The airline is canceling flights to Tel Aviv through October in response to the “security situation in the region,” a KLM spokesperson said in a statement to CNN.
KLM joins the list of international airlines that have suspended flights to and from the Middle East. United, Delta, Lufthansa and ITA Airways announced temporary flight cancellations, citing safety concerns.
Many airlines, including American and European ones, are already avoiding flights over Iran.
CNN states that the Israelis are preparing for the attacks: they have been given instructions on what to do in the event of attacks on the country. The Jerusalem Municipality distributed a file with a list of parking lots to be used as shelters and a list of bomb shelters. It says residents must reach air raid shelters within 90 seconds. Residents are also advised to stockpile water and food for three days and buy batteries and flashlights in addition to medicines.
In the past, the intelligence agencies of the United States of America and Israel warned that an Iranian attack on Israel could begin today or tomorrow, that is, on August 2 or 3, 2024.
Let’s remember that Iran raised the red flag of revenge and announced retaliatory strikes against Israel in response to the killing of Ismail Haniyeh, the leader of Hamas, who was in Tehran at the time.
US President Joe Biden’s administration is convinced that Iran will attack Israel in response to the assassination of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran.
