Afzal Raza, bureau chief of the Iranian news agency “Islamic Republic News Agency” (IRNA) in Pakistan, says that after October 7, Israel has been continuously trying to somehow involve Iran in the Gaza war. He acted in self-defense.
Apart from Afzal Raza, Pakistan-based Arab journalist Abdul Rahman Matar also participated in Aaj News program “Aaj Exclusive”.
Speaking in the program, Abdul Rahman Matar said that Israel has carried out several attacks against Iran in the past few years, in which generals, high-ranking officers, scientists and installations were targeted.
In response to a question, Afzal Raza said that Iran’s counter-attack must have convinced Israel that if it took any action against Iran now, Iran would be in a position to target it directly from its own land.
Arab journalist Abdul Rahman Matar said that the coalition that Netanyahu wanted to build against Iran since 2015 was successful in yesterday’s attack, France, America and Great Britain supported Israel in stopping the attack.
