We have closely monitored the recent escalation of tensions between Israel and Iran, especially after Iran launched nearly 200 ballistic missiles toward Israel nearly a month ago.
Israel’s military spokesman confirmed the operation’s progress on Saturday, asserting Israel’s “right and duty” to respond and fully mobilizing its defensive and offensive capabilities.
Iranian state media has confirmed reports of explosions in Tehran’s western region.
However, there remains a lack of clarity regarding the specific targets and whether Israel has successfully achieved them.
Reports from news outlets affiliated with Iran’s Revolutionary Guards indicate that several military bases located in the western and southwestern regions of the Iranian capital have come under attack.
According to reports from the Syrian state news agency, Israeli air strikes have targeted several military sites located in central and southern regions of Syria.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu‘s office has published a photograph of him situated in the operations center of the military headquarters amid the ongoing attack.
Currently, Iranian media appears to be minimizing the significance of the situation. We expect the Iranian authorities to gradually reveal the full extent of the events that have transpired.
Israel is likely to expedite the release of information regarding the specifics of its recent attack. However, this could hinge on the organization’s intentions regarding the implementation of another wave.
According to reports from the Pentagon, Israel informed the United States of its plans in advance, claiming that the US was not involved in the operation.
The development is crucial in Washington’s attempts to avert an escalation of the conflict between Israel and Iran, which could potentially lead to a full-scale war.
The United States is poised to observe the aftermath of Israel’s actions, assessing whether the strikes were confined to military objectives or if they extended to facilities associated with Iran’s nuclear program, a development that could provoke a significant reaction from Tehran.
Currently, based on the limited information at hand, it appears that Israel may have responded to warnings from Washington by moderating some of its more aggressive strategies aimed at inflicting significant damage on the Iranian leadership.
The Iranian leadership now faces a critical decision regarding their response.
The semi-official Tasnim news agency has reported that there is no uncertainty regarding Israel’s impending “proportional reaction.”
If Iran decides to start a new phase of escalation, the Israeli military will have to respond accordingly.
