Iran started a war with Turkey, Israel and India? Israel's Foreign Minister Yair Lapid on Monday urged citizens in Turkey (https://bit.ly/3zEDyor) to leave “as soon as possible” over threats that Iranian operatives are actively planning attacks on Israelis in Istanbul. The stark warning comes amid the latest surge in tensions between bitter rivals Iran and Israel, with Tehran blaming the Jewish state for a series of attacks on its nuclear and military infrastructure, inside Iran but also inside Syria. Lapid made no mention of any alleged Israeli operations against Iranian targets. But, he said, Israelis in Turkey faced “a real and immediate danger” from Iranian agents, citing “several Iranian attempts at carrying out terror attacks against Israelis on holiday in Istanbul”. Iran and Israel have been engaged in a years-long shadow war but tensions have ratcheted up following a string of high-profile incidents Tehran has blamed on Israel. The Islamic republic claimed Israel was responsible for the killing of Revolutionary Guards Colonel Sayyad Khodai, who was shot dead outside his Tehran home on May 22. The Guards described him as a “defender of the sanctuary”, a term used for those who work on behalf of Iran in Syria or Iraq and vowed to avenge his assassination by “Zionists”. In Istanbul, Turkish intelligence officials identified a group of Iranian intelligence officers who were developing attacks on Israeli tourists, according to the Israeli publication Yedioth Ahronoth (https://bit.ly/3aQAOtR). Two officers of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) air force - Mohammad Abdus and Ali Kamani, who died the day before - participated in the development of weapons for Hezbollah, writes the Iranian edition of Iran International, based in London (https://bit.ly/3Oi8jE0). Israel was also blamed for air strikes last week on the Damascus International Airport, which caused major damage two runways. The airport is in a region south of Syria's capital where Iran-backed groups, including Lebanon's Hezbollah, regularly operate. At least 76 people were injured in an explosion at a sodium carbonate plant in Iran. The incident took place near the city of Firuzabad, located in the province of Fars, according to the Jamaran agency (https://bit.ly/3tBRwUe). At the same time, pro-Iranian fundamentalists staged a reign of terror in India.
