The Israeli army said that its strikes, launched since February 28 on Iran, are “increasingly shaking the regime“ in the Islamic Republic, reported Agence France-Presse, quoted by BTA.
“We do not stop intensifying the strikes on the regime“, said army spokesman Gen. Effie Defrin. “It was shaken by the first strike on Saturday morning, when the leadership was neutralized. And every day we continue to shake it more and more, to increase the damage done until the existential threat is removed,“ he added.
“With each passing day, the Iranian terrorist regime weakens and loses control over the country,“ the spokesman said.
“We continue to systematically strike and pursue “Hezbollah“ in Lebanon. To date, we have attacked over 320 “Hezbollah“ terrorist targets, including about 80 in the last 24 hours alone,“ Gen. Defrin specified.
“There is no specific intelligence information that indicates that there is coordination between “Hezbollah“ and Iran,“ he added. "It is true that sometimes, and this happened yesterday, a salvo (of missiles) from Iran and a salvo from 'Hezbollah' were fired at approximately the same time, which gives the impression of coordination." "But there is not such close coordination," Defrin said.
Qatar intercepted a missile fired at its territory, Agence France-Presse reported, citing a statement from the authorities.
Earlier, AFP journalists reported that a new series of explosions had echoed over the Qatari capital Doha today.
Doha has been the target of a series of attacks by Iranian drones and missiles after Tehran launched a large-scale campaign in the Persian Gulf in response to US and Israeli attacks on Iran.
Witnesses told Reuters that they had seen columns of smoke rising over the western part of the city.
The United Arab Emirates confirmed that it had not decided to change its defense doctrine in response to repeated Iranian attacks, the UAE news agency reported – UAM.
The UAE has been the target of more than a thousand attacks – a number that exceeds the total faced by all other countries combined – all of which were intercepted and neutralized by the country’s armed forces with the highest professionalism, efficiency and skill.
The UAE reiterates that it is not a party to this war and has not authorized the use of its territory, waters or airspace for any attack against Iran, in line with its long-standing policy of good neighborliness, de-escalation and firm commitment to the UN Charter.
The UAE further emphasizes that it retains its legitimate right of self-defense, as recognized by international law and the UN Charter. The Emirates further emphasizes the importance of journalistic responsibility and the need to rely on official, credible sources before publishing or disseminating inaccurate or misleading messages.
