Financial Times: Israel’s Attack United the Iranian People
The webangah News Agency reports that according to the UK’s Financial Times, Israel’s attack on Iran led many Iranian critics to suspend their opposition when faced with what they perceived as an existential threat to their country.
The magazine noted that the strike fostered an unprecedented sense of unity among political observers and activists both inside and outside Iran. This solidarity emerged despite Israeli Prime Minister benjamin Netanyahu’s calls for Iranians to rise against their government – even staunch critics of Iran’s leadership set aside their grievances.
during the conflict, Tehran saw massive nationalistic banners displayed across the city, while Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei described this national unity as “extraordinary” in his public statements.
The Financial times suggests the confrontation has generated broad domestic support for Iran’s ballistic missile program and its counterintelligence operations against Israeli spies - at least for the foreseeable future.
