UK-based Iranians commemorate martyrs of 12-day Israeli-imposed war
A number of UK-based Iranians have commemorated those who were martyred by the Israeli regime’s unprovoked war against the Islamic Republic last month, which claimed the lives of hundreds of people.
The Iranians honored the martyrs on the sidelines of the ceremonies that were held in the city on Saturday to mark Ashura, the martyrdom anniversary of the third Shia Imam, Imam Hussain (AS).
The expatriates, identifying themselves as “Iranians Against the Imposed War,” set up a booth displaying photos of civilians who had lost their lives during the regime’s indiscriminate attacks throughout the 12-day aggression.
They laid flowers and candles next to the pictures, besides rolling out long lists of some of the martyrs, enclosed with a note reading, “Killed by Israel.”
Earlier, the Iranian Embassy in London had held a similar commemoration event that was attended by various diplomats, British officials, and representatives of foreign countries, who signed a book of condolence.
The regime launched the war on June 13, attacking the Islamic Republic’s nuclear, military, and civilian targets.
The assaults claimed the lives of at least 935 Iranians, including senior military officials and nuclear scientists, the latter group being targeted inside their residential buildings.
The aggression that took place in flagrant violation of international laws enjoyed exceptional military and intelligence support from the United States, the regime’s biggest ally.
Washington even entered the fray towards the end of the war, striking several Iranian nuclear facilities.
The Islamic Republic responded, in line with its relevant rights as per the United Nations Charter, by striking strategic nuclear, military, and industrial infrastructure throughout the occupied Palestinian territories.
It also retaliated against the American aggression by launching ballistic missiles against al-Udeid, the US’s most important regional airbase that is located in Qatar.
