Iran's Response to Israel Based on Quranic Teachings: Iraqi Analyst
"All people witnessed that the Zionist regime attacked Iran, killed innocent civilians, destroyed homes and undermined people's peace," Hassan Erbash al-Ameri told IQNA.
"Here, God as allowed the one who has been attacked to respond 'So should anyone aggress against you, assail him in the manner he assailed you, and be wary of Allah, and know that Allah is with the Godwary,' reads verse 194 of Surah Baqarah. This is the qisas principle," he added.
The Israeli regime unleased an aggression against Iran on June 13 by targeting the country's residential and military areas, assassinating senior off-duty military commanders and nuclear scientists along with their families. The attacks also targeted the country's peaceful nuclear facilities.
Iran, in response, has launched Operation True Promise III, targeting the regime's military infrastructure by missiles and drones.

Meanwhile, God has ordered the faithful to show force to enemies, al-Ameri said, pointing to verse 13, Surah At-Tawbah: "O you who have faith! Fight the faithless who are in your vicinity, and let them find severity in you, and know that Allah is with the Godwary."
"The human, legal, and religious duty of Islamic countries and all freedom-seeking people in the world is to stand with the truth and fight against falshood," noted the analyst.
Although Israel is supported by the United States and most Islamic countries fear the US, this duty is there, he said, pointing to verse 173 of Surah Al-Imran which reads: "Those to whom the people said, ‘All the people have gathered against you, so fear them.’ That only increased them in faith, and they said, ‘Allah is sufficient for us, and He is an excellent trustee.’"
