Iran launched a retaliatory strike Saturday night on Israel for its deadly attack on Iranian officers in the Islamic Republic’s embassy in Damascus after days of signalling it would do so. The response came in waves throughout Saturday, beginning with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) seizing a vessel in the Red Sea connected to Israeli billionaire Eyal Ofer’s company, Zodiac Maritime. By around 11 pm local time, that had graduated to multiple waves of attack drones and missiles headed toward Israeli targets.
周六晚上，伊朗对以色列发动报复性打击，因为以色列在伊斯兰共和国驻大马士革大使馆对伊朗官员发动了致命袭击，此前数天伊朗一直表示会这样做。整个周六，伊朗的反应一波接一波，首先是伊斯兰革命卫队（IRGC）在红海扣押了一艘与以色列亿万富翁Eyal Ofer的公司Zodiac Maritime有关的船只。到当地时间晚上11点左右，无人机和导弹向以色列目标发起了多波攻击。
“In exercising its inherent right of self-defence under Article 51 of the UN Charter, and in response to the Israeli regime recurring military aggressions, particularly its armed attack on 1st April 2024 against Iranian diplomatic premises, in defiance of Article 2 (4) of the UN Charter and in flagrant violation of Int’l Law, and subsequent to the failure of the UNSC in taking measures necessary to condemn and hold the aggressor accountable, Iran carried out a series of military strikes on Israeli military objectives,” Iranian UN mission said. “As a responsible Member of the UN, Iran is committed to the purposes and principles enshrined in the UN Charter and Int’l law, and reiterates its consistent position that it does not seek escalation or conflict in the region,” it added.
伊朗联合国代表团表示：“在行使《联合国宪章》第五十一条规定的固有自卫权时，为了应对以色列政权一再发动的军事侵略，特别是其2024年4月1日对伊朗外交馆舍的武装袭击，无视《联合国约章》第二条第四款，公然违反国际法，在联合国安理会未能采取必要措施谴责侵略者并追究其责任后，伊朗对以色列的军事目标进行了一系列军事打击。”。“作为一个负责任的联合国成员，伊朗致力于《联合国宪章》和国际法所载的宗旨和原则，并重申其一贯立场，即不寻求该地区的升级或冲突，”声明补充道。
Iran’s response was legitimate and justified. Israeli aggression, and attack on Iranian Diplomatic mission in Syria was clear violation of UN Charter and Israeli action is considered a terrorist act. As a matter of fact, Israeli genocide in Gaza is also condemnable act. Killing 34000 Palestinians, injuring hounded thousands, and making around 2 million people homeless, and creating a famine situation in Gaza, Prime Minister Netanyahu has emerged a Hitler of 21st Century. It is a simple case of holocaust.
伊朗的回应是合法和正当的。以色列的侵略和对伊朗驻叙利亚外交使团的袭击明显违反了《联合国宪章》，以色列的行动被视为恐怖主义行为。事实上，以色列在加沙的种族灭绝也是应受谴责的行为。杀害了34000名巴勒斯坦人，数千人受伤，约200万人无家可归，并在加沙造成饥荒，内塔尼亚胡总理成为了21世纪的希特勒。这是一个简单的大屠杀案例。
As the Israeli attack on Iranian diplomatic mission in Syria has angered the entire nation in Iran, and there was huge public pressure in Iranian Government to respond. Furthermore, it election time in Iran, and a political aspect cannot be ignored. If, Iranian Government, has not responded, may not be able to face its public and election results may not be in their favour.
以色列对伊朗驻叙利亚外交使团的袭击激怒了整个伊朗国家，伊朗政府面临着巨大的公众压力，要求其做出回应。此外，现在是伊朗大选的时候，政治方面也不容忽视。如果伊朗政府没有回应，可能就无法面对公众，选举结果也可能对他们不利。
However, Iran has made its symbolic retaliation merely. It used low speed weapons, with less pay-load, or war heads. May be deliberately, Iran observed restrains and was not willing to harm Israel significantly. No death, no major damage or harm to Israeli assets, indicates clearly that Iran do not want to widen the escalation and the attack was symbolic merely.
然而，伊朗只是象征性地进行了报复。它使用的是低速武器，有效载荷较小，或者说是弹头。可能是故意的，伊朗遵守了克制，不愿意对以色列造成重大伤害。没有死亡，没有对以色列资产造成重大损害或伤害，这清楚地表明伊朗不想扩大事态升级，这次袭击只是象征性的。
While two of the Israeli government’s most hardliner ministers on Sunday urged a firm response to the overnight Iranian drone and missile attack on Israel. Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich urging a response that “resonates throughout the Middle East” and National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir said Israel should “go crazy.” Smotrich, the head of the far-right Religious Zionism party, said that if Israel hesitated, “we will put ourselves and our children in existential danger.” Ben Gvir, the leader of the far-right Jewish Power party, said Israel’s response must not be “weak,” and that “the concepts of containment and proportionality are concepts that passed away on October 7,” the day of the Hamas attack on Israel.
周日，以色列政府两位最强硬的部长敦促对伊朗无人机和导弹连夜袭击以色列作出坚定回应。财政部长贝扎莱尔·斯莫特里奇敦促做出“在整个中东引起共鸣”的回应，国家安全部长伊塔马尔·本·格维尔表示，以色列应该“发疯”。极右翼宗教犹太复国主义党领袖斯莫特里希表示，如果以色列犹豫不决，“我们将把自己和我们的孩子置于生存危险之中。”极右翼犹太力量党领袖本·格维尔说，以色列的回应决不能“软弱”，“遏制和相称的概念是在10月7日哈马斯袭击以色列当天消失的概念”。
Israel’s war cabinet has begun its meeting. The war cabinet consists of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defence Minister Yoav Gallant, and Benny Gantz, the leader of the National Union party and a former Défense Minister. Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer and politicians Gadi Eisenkot and Aryeh Deri sit in the war cabinet as observers. The war cabinet meeting comes as Israel determines its response after Iran launched dozens of missiles from its territory toward Israel late Saturday.
以色列战时内阁已经开始开会。战时内阁由总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡、国防部长约夫·加兰特和民族联盟党领袖、前国防部长本尼·甘茨组成。战略事务部长Ron Dermer和政治家Gadi Eisenkot和Aryeh Deri作为观察员参加了战争内阁。周六晚些时候，伊朗从其领土向以色列发射了数十枚导弹，以色列决定对此作出回应。
It is worth mentioning that, Prime Minister Netanyahu has been facing huge criticism within Israel and his popularity dropped sharply. It is well conceived that, he will be charged for war crimes. That is why he dissolved his regular Cabinet and formed a war cabinet to protect him from domestic pressures. The day, he ends war, he have to go for election, and he knows very well the outcomes of elections. He just wanted to widen the war, and never ending war, to avoid elections and protect his future.
值得一提的是，内塔尼亚胡总理在以色列国内一直面临巨大的批评，他的支持率急剧下降。他将被指控犯有战争罪，这是经过深思熟虑的。这就是为什么他解散了常规内阁，组建了一个战时内阁，以保护他免受国内压力的影响。有一天，他结束了战争，他必须参加选举，他非常清楚选举的结果。他只是想扩大战争范围，永远不结束战争，以避免选举，保护自己的未来。
Prime Minister Netanyahu has a long history of anti-Iran sentiments. He convinced former President Trump to with draw from nuclear deal with Iran. He has been lobbying to involve US in confrontation with Iran. To some extent, he has been successful in dragging US in the Middle-East war.
内塔尼亚胡总理反伊朗情绪由来已久。他说服前总统特朗普利用与伊朗的核协议。他一直在游说让美国卷入和伊朗的对抗。在某种程度上，他成功地在中东战争中拖住了美国。
It is election year in the US and both presidential candidates, Biden and Trump, needs Jews support to win elections. US support to Israel is politically motivated too. Historically, no one can rule the US without the support from Jews since the 2nd world war.
现在是美国的选举年，拜登和特朗普这两位总统候选人都需要犹太人的支持才能赢得选举。美国对以色列的支持也是出于政治动机。从历史上看，自第二次世界大战以来，没有犹太人的支持，任何人都无法统治美国。
US President Joe Biden made clear the US will not participate in any offensive operations against Iran, according to a senior administration official. However, US engagement is Middle-East war may benefits China and Russia. It might diffuse American pressure on Russia in Ukraine and Taiwan pressure on China.
据一位高级政府官员透露，美国总统乔·拜登明确表示，美国不会参与任何针对伊朗的进攻行动。然而，美国的介入是中东战争可能有利于中国和俄罗斯。这可能会分散美国在乌克兰对俄罗斯的压力和台湾对中国的压力。
Geopolitics are rather complicated and big powers might have their own point of view or interests, but, the irony is that People of Palestine are suffering. Many people are starving and it is feared that more people will die by starvation that the Israeli attacks. Even the UN failed to protect the poor Palestinians in Gaza.
地缘政治相当复杂，大国可能有自己的观点或利益，但具有讽刺意味的是，巴勒斯坦人民正在遭受苦难。许多人正在挨饿，人们担心会有更多的人死于以色列袭击造成的饥饿。就连联合国也没能保护加沙贫穷的巴勒斯坦人。
