Israel is preparing for a response toIran, a decision taken after the last war cabinet meeting. This move was supported by both political and military leaders, who consider this action inevitable in response to the attack suffered last Saturday, in which over 300 missiles and drones were launched. Despite the urgency, the prime minister Netanyahu He did not specify the timing, but the anticipation for the attack, described by Israeli and international media as imminent, is aimed at exerting pressure on Tehran similar to that which Iran has imposed on Israel. Israel's upcoming military operation against Iran faces considerable resistance from the United States and its allies, who had already assisted Israel in intercepting 99% of projectiles fired from Tehran. The American President Joe Biden, who had initially tried to moderate the Israeli reaction, reiterated during a meeting with the Iraqi prime minister at the White House the importance of avoiding an escalation in the Middle East.
Tehran's response
The spokesman for the Iranian Armed Forces said: "We do not seek to expand the war, but we will strike anyone who attacks our country. Any aggression by “Israel” or its supporters will be met with a stronger response than before. We are not supporters of war and call on America, Britain, France and Germany to stop supporting “Israel”. Our response showed some of our strength and our missiles and drones crossed the Iron Dome."
The Iranian “fireworks” attack was a response to the bombing of the Iranian embassy in Damascus, Syria. This episode intensified tensions in the region, as Tehran perceived the bombing as a direct attack on its interests and therefore responded by sending missiles and drones towards Israel. During periods of heightened conflict, Israel can operate on multiple fronts simultaneously, managing operations both in Gaza and responding to threats or interests in other areas, such as Damascus in Syria.
The answer when, where and how
Where, what, when and how: these are the four questions to which the answer is not yet clear regarding Iran's response to the unprecedented attack launched against Israel on the night between Saturday and Sunday. All that is known so far is that Israel decided to respond to the shooting despite the attack's failure, and that there is agreement between the political and security levels on the need for such a response. Today the government is scheduled to meet once again to discuss the and gentle cosmetics of the response and the date. Since the USA and Europe have understood that Israel intends to respond, commentators and military experts are trying to understand what type of response it will choose, while each response could have other consequences, with Iran threatening to "react forcefully" or "use weapon". we have never used” against any Israeli attack. Yesterday the IDF presented during the cabinet meeting several options for an attack on Iran. A measured and limited response, according to U.S. military commentators, could be a cyber-only attack without a “kinetic attack” by missiles or an air force strike. A medium-intensity attack could be a cyber attack combined with a limited missile attack on a small military base or a single military complex. A large attack would involve several things together: both cyber attacks and shootings against several military complexes, some of them very significant, in strategic centers throughout Iran. NBC reports that the United States estimates that Israel's response to Iran's attack will be limited in scope and will focus on military targets in Iran and the targets of pro-Iranian militias outside Iran. According to the report, Israeli officials informed the officials in question The United States talked about this plan last week, before Iran attacked Israel with more than 300 missiles and UAVs. American officials themselves said they had not been briefed on the final plans Israel plans to implement and whether they will be changed after the weekend. (source: n12)
