Israel’s attack on Iran demonstrated not strength, but fear and a desire to “escape,” Secretary of the Expediency Discernment Council of the Islamic Republic General Mohsen Rezaee Mirgha’ed wrote on his account on the platform X social network.
” Israel’s aggression against Iran was driven more by fear and the desire to flee the battlefield than by a desire to show strength,” he noted.
Earlier, Israel began to strike Iran. According to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) press service, the targets were Iranian missile manufacturing plants. The military decided to strike these facilities because the missiles they produce pose a direct threat to the country.
The Jerusalem Post reported that the Israeli attack on Iran involved over 100 aircraft, including F-35s. In turn, the New York Times, Israeli officials said that more than 100 combat aircraft, including fighter jets and unmanned drones, hit roughly 20 sites in Iran, Syria, and Iraq. The officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the military operation, said that Israel targeted air defense systems and long-range missile production sites in Iran.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) reported delivering strikes on military targets in Iran. According to the army press service, the attack was personally overseen by Chief of Israel’s General Staff Herzi Halevi.
The Iranian military, in turn, said that some of its facilities in the provinces of Tehran, Khuzestan, and Ilam had come under attack but Israel had only managed to cause limited damage, while the country’s air defense systems deflected the main impact.
