After the Israeli attack against Iranian territory in the early hours of Friday, regional tension intensified rapidly. In response, Iran launched hundreds of ballistic missiles to Israeli territory, according to the official IRNA agency.
The anti -aircraft sirens were activated in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, where multiple explosions were heard. Israeli media report at least 22 injured, including two in serious condition.
The state of Israel unilaterally launched the attack on Iran, bombing numerous cities, including the capital in what they called “Operation León Ascendant”. The Iranian media reported that the chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Iran, Mohammad Bagheri, died during Israeli attacks, and that the leader of the revolutionary guard, Hossein Salami, was killed along with two scientists who worked in Uranium enrichment plants.
On the other hand, in a televised speech to the nation, the Iranian supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, warned that “the Iranian armed forces will act strongly and impoverish the Zionist regime.” “The Zionist regime will not be unharmed from this crime,” he added, and said that “the Iranian people may be sure that there will be no truce in this matter.”
Israel is going through a moment of growing diplomatic isolation, due to the deterioration of its international image because of the genocide that they are committing on the Palestinian people. In this context of external pressure and internal crisis, the Israeli government has chosen to climb the regional conflict through air attacks against Iran, its main strategic rival. This action not only represents a dangerous intensification of the bilateral confrontation, of open war between the two countries, but also significantly raises the risk of a regional war with unpredictable consequences for the stability of the Middle East.
In the last hours, the United States ratified its alliance with Israel, and Trump said that “he knew everything” about Israel’s attack to Iran and decided to mobilize military resources in the region. The Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, had already warned when announcing the beginning of the attacks that the operation would be extended “during every day that are necessary to eliminate this threat”, in reference to the Iranian nuclear program.
