Iran Israel War Updates: Israel says it’s not over. Was there a counterattack on Iran by Israel?
Israel News: Early on Friday, Israel attacked Iranian territory, according to ABC, which quoted a US official. Iran’s Mehr news agency reported hearing explosions and loud bangs in the city of Isfahan. This occurred one week after Israel was targeted by an Iranian drone and missile attack.
According to the Mehr news agency, flights were suspended in Isfahan, Tehran, Shiraz, and airports located around Iran’s western borders. The specifics of the explosion in Isfahan are still unknown, though. The city is thought to have served as one of Iran’s many launch sites for the attack on April 13.
Early on Friday, Israel launched an airstrike on Iran; however, Tehran downplayed the event and said it had no plans to retaliate, which seems to be a sign that a regional conflict may be avoided. Following an Iranian drone and missile strike on Israel last Saturday, diplomats have been working nonstop to prevent all-out war. The attack’s modest scope and Iran’s subdued response both seemed to indicate a successful effort in this regard.
The cause of the explosion at the Isfahan airport, which was earlier reported by Iran’s Fars news agency, was not immediately known. Several Iranian nuclear facilities, such as the Natanz uranium enrichment complex, are located in the province of Isfahan.
Following Iran’s unprecedented attack, Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that his nation would determine how to defend itself. Over the course of the weekend, Iran launched over 300 drones and missiles into Israel, but the majority of the missiles were intercepted, resulting in minimal damage.
The Middle East has calmed down as a result of the Israeli military’s threat to retaliate. The first Western envoys to visit Israel since the strike were British Foreign Secretary David Cameron and his German counterpart Annalena Baerbock. Meanwhile, Israel’s friends in Washington and Brussels promised to intensify sanctions against Iran.
Israel News: Was there a Counterattack on Iran by Israel?
Less than a week after Tehran attacked Iran with drones and missiles, Israel launched a “retaliatory strike,” according to US officials, sparking concerns about escalating hostilities throughout the Middle East.
According to Bloomberg, two US officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity on Thursday stated that Israeli officials had informed the US that they intended to retaliate within the next 24 to 48 hours.
Before the strikes were announced on Thursday, according to a statement from Pentagon spokesman Pat Ryder, US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin had a conversation with Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.
The topic of “regional threats and Iran’s destabilizing actions in the Middle East” was covered by Austin and Gallant. It wasn’t said in the statement, though, whether Israel had alerted the US about impending strikes on Iran.
The Israeli strike on Iran, according to Gazans, is “just a show.”
According to Gazans in the besieged southern city of Rafah, Israel’s purported strike against Iran on Friday was merely a theatrical performance. They demanded peace in the region. “This is all prearranged and prearranged, as everyone is aware,” Alaa Abu Taha, a local, remarked. “If someone wants to strike, they don’t give prior warning or threaten before.”
State media in Iran reported explosions in the central province of Isfahan, while American officials were quoted by US media claiming that Israel had struck back at its bitterest adversary. After Iran launched missiles and drones toward Israel over a week ago, in revenge for a deadly attack on Iran’s embassy building in Syria on April 1 that was largely attributed to Israel, Israel had threatened to retaliate.
