Iran assumes full control over Israel’s airspace after attack with missiles

The Guardians’ body of the Islamic Revolution (IRGC) of Iran announced on Wednesday, 18, that the Iranian Armed Forces gained total control over Israeli airspace. The statement, made by Iranian state agency Irna, comes after the launch of missiles against targets in Israel, reinforcing the growing tensions between the two countries.

“Today’s missile attack has shown that we have gained full control over the skies of occupied territories and that its residents are completely defenseless against Iranian attacks,” the IRGC said, highlighting the superiority of the Iranian military arsenal in the region.

The announcement occurs after confirming that new Iranian missile launches were detected by Israel, generating concern in the Israeli authorities.

According to Sputnik agency, Iran’s attacks have been increasingly frequent and advanced, which raises the warning level in the country.

The persistent evolution of Iranian missilistic abilities in recent decades has led the Israeli authorities to intensify their preparations for possible more severe confrontations.

Iran, in turn, states that its missal of missiles is extensive and cannot be exhausted rapidly, as reported by an Iranian security officer to Sputnik.

This statement suggests that the country continues to invest strongly in its defense program, with the aim of maintaining the ability to retaliate in any scenario of military climbing.

The growing tension in the Middle East has generated speculation on the impact of such statements on the region’s geopolitical balance. Israel’s airspace control by Iran, if confirmed, could dramatically alter Israel’s defense dynamics and increase the risk of a broader war in the Middle East.

Although the Israeli government has committed itself to protecting its sovereignty and keeping its defenses at a high alert, the mastery of airspace by enemy forces represents a new phase in the conflict, placing Israel’s safety under an unprecedented threat.

This evolution in the confrontation is one of several that have occurred since the beginning of tensions, with Iran expanding their attacks and Israel reinforcing their defenses to prevent their strategic infrastructure from being compromised. Airspace control is considered one of the most critical factors in any confrontation, given the direct impact on the ability to perform effective and air defense attacks.

The situation also raises questions about the reaction of Western powers and the international community, which continue to closely monitor movements in the Middle East. Iran, in turn, reinforces its position, claiming that its actions are a response to external threats and a demonstration of its military capacity.
