A New Round of Drone Strikes: Israel vs Iran
Behind the Scenes Knowledge Iran's air attacks against Israel are no mere coincidence. Tensions between these two nations have been simmering, with recent escalations dating back to early 2024.
Following Israel's large-scale assault on Iranian targets, the Israeli military claims Iran has retaliated with a fresh wave of drones heading towards Israel. The military asserted, "The Israeli Air Force persistently intercepts unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) launched from Iran towards Israeli territory." Earlier, around 100 Iranian drones had reportedly been deployed against Israel.
In the Heat of the Moment "Never heard such a ringing"- ntv reporter describes the moment of alarm in Israel. Israel had earlier attacked key targets in Iran, such as Tehran and the nuclear facility in Natanz. According to Iranian media, the attacks claimed the lives of senior military officials, including Mohammed Bagheri, the army chief, and Hussein Salami, the chief of the Revolutionary Guards. In response, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's supreme leader, threatened Israel with severe retribution.
Meanwhile, the Israeli Air Force allegedly launched a second wave of attacks on Iran, according to Fars News Agency and Israeli media. Among the targets was Tabriz Airport. Iranian media published a video displaying flames and smoke over the airport in East Azerbaijan's capital. Furthermore, Iranian state TV reported explosions in the northwest province of East Azerbaijan and additional attacks on Natanz.
The Big Picture These ongoing drone and missile exchanges illustrate a significant shift from proxy warfare to direct state-on-state confrontation, marking the most substantial exchange between Israel and Iran since the Iran-Iraq War of the 1980s. The loss of key military commanders and nuclear scientists in Iran is a major setback, potentially impacting its military command structure and nuclear advancement efforts. This situation raises concerns about regional security, war prospects, and the stability of global energy markets and diplomatic relations in the Middle East. Israel's deployment of advanced, precision-guided weaponry and covert operations within Iran sets a precedent for future conflicts, demonstrating the increasing role of technology and intelligence in modern warfare.
