Israel uses Iran: Current information about the attacks

On Saturday, Israel announced that it military destinations in Iran attacked in response to previous Iranian attacks. This again arouses the fear that the long -lasting confrontation between the two powerful military could escalate into a comprehensive regional war that could also involve the United States.

Israel's military operation

The Israeli military said that Iranian locations for the production of rockets and air defense systems have targeted it. This targeted reaction excluded critical energy infrastructures such as oil sources and nuclear facilities. Iran, on the other hand, tried to downplay the effects of the attack and reported that air defense was successful in three provinces - Tehran, Ilam and Chuzestan - and the damage was "limited".

reactions from the USA

The United States described the attack as "an exercise in self -defense", which "consciously populated areas and focused exclusively on military goals". Israel had announced that Iran was held responsible for the large -scale rocket attack on October 1, in which around 200 missiles were fired on Israel. This attack forced people across the country to seek protection in air -raid shelter.

Details on the attack operations

In the early morning hours of Saturday, Israel carried out direct air strikes on Iran and spoke of "precise attacks on military goals". The Israeli military stated that its Air Force had met "rocket factories" that were used to produce the rockets that Iran fired in Israel last year. In addition, "air defense rocket systems and additional Iranian aviation skills" were attacked that aimed at restricting Israel's freedom of movement in airspace through Iran.

consequences of the attack

Iran later confirmed the attack and explained that the attacks had only "limited damage". Videos that were shared by residents in Tehran on social media showed flashes of light and explosions when dawn broke in, followed by a third and last wave of attacks. At around 6 a.m. the local military, the Israeli military said that the operation was completed and that the Israeli fighter jets "have been returning home safely".

look into the future

A growing concern about the military escalations is that Israel and Iran are involved in an open war that could possibly involve the USA - Israel's closest allies and largest arms suppliers. Higher US officials emphasized that President Biden Netanyahu encouraged to plan a retaliation attack to deter future attacks on Israel. In the past few weeks, the US and other allies Netanyahu have asked for restraint and warned that attacks on Iranian oil and nuclear systems could have negative economic and environmentally specific consequences for the entire region.
