The recent move by Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps to fire six missiles at ISIS positions in Syria’s Deir ez-Zor has sparked widespread reactions all around the world.
The IRGC’s Sunday missile attacks launched from Iran on the terrorists’ positions in eastern Syria were widely covered by world media, and received positive reactions by political pundits, even those opposed to the Iranian Establishment.
Another London-based Iranian political analyst, Ali Alizadeh, said, “Hitting a target inside the territory of a friend and ally country in coordination with its incumbent government is [a] legitimate [move] and in compliance with international laws. Bellicosity, is to cast doubt on [the legitimacy] of our right of self-defence.”
Iran’s Ambassador to London Hamid Baeedinejad also made one of the first reactions to the attacks: “The missile attack on the ISIS military base in Syria demonstrated Iran’s capability for and willpower in the fight against terrorism and the security threats.”
Asr-e Iran quoted Iranian Parliament’s Vice-Speaker Ali Motahari as saying, “The missile attack by Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps against the [ISIS] terrorists was timely and reciprocal. The continuation of such moves by Iran depends on the measures taken by the opposing side. Nevertheless, these [military] operations were carried out in response to the [June 17] terror attacks on Tehran. We had the right to chase the terrorists in any part of the world.”
The Persian version of Russia’s Sputnik news agency wrote that “ISIS was slapped in the face so that others could hear the sound of the hit.”
Israeli journalist, Amichai Stein, also noted that “Iranian Revolution Guards fire missiles at militant groups in eastern Syria. Iran holds responsible for attacks in Tehran.”
