It started out as a typical day in the capital of India and ended up making headlines throughout the world. The nation was stunned by a bombing in 2012 that targeted Israeli diplomats in New Delhi, sparking diplomatic tensions between superpowers. More than ten years later, John Abraham’s “Tehran” puts viewers into the compelling real-life events, showing how a single explosion changed lives, put alliances to the test, and left unsolved questions hanging in the air.
2012 Israeli Diplomat Attacks
One embassy employee, a local employee, and two passersby were among the four individuals injured when a bomb exploded on an Israeli diplomatic vehicle in New Delhi, India, on February 13, 2012. Georgian police defused another explosive that was found hidden in a car close to the Israeli embassy in Tbilisi, Georgia, at the same time. With tensions between the two nations rising in the months prior, this incident was a part of the Iran-Israel proxy war.
The Story And Motives
Amid rising tensions, the attacks were part of the larger Iran-Israel proxy war. Israel formally charged that the bombs were planned by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps in revenge for secret Israeli activities, such as the killing of Iranian scientists. Iran denounced the strikes as “terrorist” operations and denied any involvement.
The Geopolitical Impact
- By highlighting claims of state-sponsored terrorism against one another, the bombings strained diplomatic relations between Iran and Israel.
- Israeli diplomatic posts around the world adopted stricter security measures.
- The events increased international attention to Iran’s secret operations.
- The bombings reinforced Israel’s claim that Iranian proxies target it everywhere.
