BREAKING: US Speaks as Israel Launches Fresh Missile Attacks on Iran

Israel has conducted airstrikes on Iran, targeting approximately 20 sites in response to Iran’s October 1 missile attacks. The Israeli military operation said it was “Days of Reckoning,” aimed to destroy Iran’s capabilities for producing missiles, surface-to-air missile systems, and other air defence systems. Iran’s military confirmed that the strikes hit military bases in Ilam, Khuzestan, and Tehran provinces. However, they downplayed the impact, describing the damage as “limited.” The Israeli military’s actions demonstrate its resolve to counter perceived threats from Iran.

According to Aljazeera, the strikes are a significant escalation in tensions between Israel and Iran, which have been rising due to Iran’s nuclear program and support for anti-Israel militant groups. Israel considers Iran its greatest threat, and this operation marks a proactive stance against potential aggression.The US National Security Council has acknowledged Israel’s strikes, characterizing them as an “exercise in self-defence.” However, they clarified that Washington did not participate in the operation. The US has been a major supporter and ally of Israel in the Middle East. Israel has warned Iran against retaliating, cautioning that it will “be obligated to respond” again and has “additional targets” if necessary. With Israel’s airspace closed until 8:30 am local time (05:30 GMT), the situation remains volatile, and global attention is focused on potential furtherĀ developments.
