Iran's attack against Israel shows Revolutionary Guards are toughening their stance

lemonde.fr/en/international/article/2024/04/18/iran-s-attack-against-israel-shows-revolutionary-guards-are-toughening-their-stance_6668810_4.html

Quick Glance: Iran's Revolutionary Guards Influencing Islamic Republic's Foreign Policy Since US Withdrawal from Nuclear Deal

Since the US withdrawal from the nuclear deal in 2018, the regime's ideological army has significantly influenced the Islamic Republic's foreign policy.

The Swiss ambassador in Iran was not received by diplomatic representatives of the Foreign Ministry on April 14, but by the Revolutionary Guards, who initiated the 'Honest Promise' operation and fired projectiles at Israel.

The military operation 'Honest Promise,' led by the aerospace branch of the Islamic Republic's ideological army, highlights the Revolutionary Guards' control over the country's affairs.

Iran's direct attack on Israel on April 14 was a strategic decision to prevent escalation following the death of General Mohammad Reza Zahedi, who was killed in April.

Quick Glance: Israel artist calls for Gaza ceasefire

The representative of Israel at the international art fair is calling for an immediate ceasefire in Israel’s war on Gaza.

Ruth Patir’s video installation called (M)otherland was scheduled to open on Saturday at Israel’s national pavilion at the international art show but will remain closed for now.

Patir stated on her website that the artist and curators are showing solidarity with the families of the hostages and the large community in Israel calling for change, rather than canceling themselves or the exhibition.

It is believed that there are still individuals in Gaza, including 129 captives taken during the attacks led by Hamas on Israel on October 7, with 34 of them presumed dead.
