Reflecting the attack on the Iranian consulate in regional and international media

Mehr News Agency, International Group: Israeli army air attack on the consulate building of the Iranian Embassy in Damascus It has been widely reflected in regional and international media. Although in the first hours of this attack, many analysts considered the action of the Zionists to be irrational and terrorist. But some news agencies close to Israel tried to show the Iranian embassy as a kind of military barracks by repeating the regime’s claims! However, most of the mainstream media, calling this terrorist attack “unprecedented”, expressed concern about Iran’s possible reaction and the increase in tensions in West Asia. In the continuation of this report, we will try to examine the views of reliable regional and international media regarding the destruction of the consular building and the martyrdom of a group of IRGC Quds Force commanders and advisers.

Hebrew newspaper Yediot Aharonoth With a warning about the start of Iran’s deadly attacks against Israel, he described the assassination of Martyr General Mohammad Reza Zahedi, one of the commanders of the Quds Force, as the most important action of the Zionist regime after the October 7th attack on Tehran. This Hebrew media, following the line of psychological operations of the Israeli Foreign Ministry, is trying to convey to the audience that the Iranian consulate building was not a diplomatic headquarters but the Iranian military command center in the heart of Damascus!

Haaretz also tried with the meaningful headline “Israel is moving from the war of shadows to a direct and open battle with Iran” in the form of four scenarios to speculate about Iran’s possible response to the terrorist attack in Damascus. Jorselim Post, however, by addressing the political aspects of this attack, wrote about the efforts of Iran’s diplomatic apparatus to create a global consensus in condemning the incident in Damascus before the military response to this attack. /p>

Among prominent media in the Middle East region, Al Jazeera once again played a pioneering role and tried to address different points of view regarding Iran’s possible response to the terrorist attack in Damascus. to provide readers with a comprehensive perspective. In Al Jazeera’s view, the recent Israeli attack shows the intensification of the regime army’s movements to target the Iranian forces effective in the cycle of strengthening the resistance in Syria, Lebanon and the occupied Flesin. John Alterman, an expert at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, believes that Israel’s terrorist act is a deterrent! On the other hand, Stephen Cook, an analyst of the Council on Foreign Relations, believes that Israel’s recent actions have intensified tensions in the Middle East and endangered the lives of American soldiers.

Azernews, a website close to Baku, but without seriously addressing the origin of the Israeli terrorist attack on Iran’s diplomatic mission in Damascus, highlighted the tweet of one of the current members of the Islamic Council in Especially the necessity of a similar response to the diet. It seems that this media close to the Aliaf government is trying to use this comment as a pretext to once again beat the drum of expanding relations with the Zionists and reducing relations with the southern neighbor, the Islamic Republic of Iran. Al-Arabiya and T.R. T news agencies close to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Turkey, while condemning the Israeli attack on the Iranian consulate in Damascus, warned against the increase in tensions in the Middle East.

From the first hours of the attack on the Iranian consulate in Damascus, the Reuters news agency became one of the main sources of information about this incident and reflecting the opinion of American statesmen regarding the terrorist attack. . This American media, while pointing to the possibility of increasing the level of tensions in the region, wrote about Tehran’s unwillingness to start an all-out war in the Middle East. However, Reuters believes that Iran may be forced to respond more forcefully to Israel’s recent attack in order to maintain credibility and deterrence in the region. C. N.N, while addressing the position of martyr Sardar Zahedi, said about the increased risk of expanding the range of conflicts in the region. The Axius site, which acted as a channel for transmitting messages from the White House to the Iranian-Israeli authorities, quoted American officials and announced that it was not involved in the attack. And only minutes before the Israeli operation, he warned his allies about this attack.

Newspapers and European reporters also dedicated their first headlines to the last curtain of the hidden war between Tehran and Tel Aviv. Referring to the strategic challenge for Iran, the French newspaper Le Monde claimed that if Tehran does not respond to this Israeli attack, the amount of Israeli attacks against Iranian forces will increase. The Guardian English newspaper also tried to somehow attribute this attack to the previous day’s attack by the Islamic resistance of Iraq on the Israeli naval headquarters in the port city of Eilat. Germany’s Deutsche Welle warned against the rising level of tensions and wrote in an analysis that Iran’s lack of military response will weaken Iran’s position vis-à-vis its allies and increase Israel’s terrorist attacks. .

In addition to prominent western media, prominent news agencies of other world powers such as Russia and China addressed this incident. Xinhua website, referring to the threat of Israel’s terrorist action against stability in the region, described the regime’s current attack as illegal and dangerous and considered Iran’s response to this attack certain. Sputnik also quoted Sergei Naryshkin the head of Russia’s foreign intelligence service to attack the Iranian consulate headquarters in He described Damascus as a terrorist act. The Tass news site also referred to Amir Abdullahian’s comments regarding the control of Israel’s behavior by the United States, and wrote about Iran’s right to deterrence against this terrorist attack.

Like all the military advantages and security incidents between Iran and the Zionist regime, different media tried to take a position in line with the policies of their employers in confirm or reject Tel Aviv’s terrorist act against Iran’s diplomatic facilities in Syria. However, what seems certain is the emphasis of most of the media on Tehran’s decision to respond to Israel and its possible impact on the development process in the region as a common media line. Perhaps the main point of uncertainty for foreign analysts and journalists is that they do not have a relatively accurate perception or idea about Iran’s possible response. There is a possibility that the answers to such questions and ambiguities will be clear in the coming hours and the type of Iran’s response to the Zionist regime will be revealed.
