Almost four weeks after Iran’s unprecedented attack on Israeli infrastructure, Tel Aviv struck back. However, despite a long delay, Iran did not suffer any damage as a result of the attack on Namkawaste. US media reported that Israel did not want to risk a major war in the Middle East by launching a major attack on Iran under US pressure. Iran says it foiled Israeli aggression. Four Iranian soldiers died in the attack. Apart from this, no major damage was reported. However, Iran has threatened to retaliate against Israel.
Iran’s air defense forces said that Israeli attacks on various installations in the capital Tehran, Khuzestan and Ilam provinces on Saturday failed. Iran’s air defense system was able to thwart the attack. According to a statement from Iran’s Air Defense Forces, the explosions heard by the residents of Tehran and the surrounding area were the sound of the air defense system being activated and the reports of any major hits on any targets in Tehran are not true.
Israel’s military spokesman Daniel Hagari said its military has completed responding to Iran’s attacks against Israel.
A well-informed Iranian source told the country’s Tasnim news agency that Iran is preparing to respond to Israeli aggression. Iran reserves the right to respond to any aggression on itself. No doubt Israel will respond appropriately to any attack.
Israel claimed it carried out “retaliatory strikes” on several military installations in the Iranian capital Tehran and the nearby city of Karaj. Tel Aviv claimed that Israeli warplanes, refueling planes and reconnaissance planes took part in the attack.
However, Tehran said the missiles were fired at various targets from outside Iran’s airspace.
Residents of the capital, Tehran, heard loud noises around the city around 2 a.m. local time on Saturday. An Iranian security source said these sounds were the sound of Iran’s air defense system being activated and that the system had worked successfully.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Galant were stationed in the bunker during Israel’s invasion of Iran.
Meanwhile, the situation in the whole country, including the capital of Iran, Tehran, is normal, according to the country’s state media. However, all flights to all airports in Iran have been temporarily cancelled. The US news channel CBC quoted the country’s security sources as saying that an attack had taken place on an Iranian military facility. No nuclear or oil facilities were attacked. The US did not participate in the attack.
Iran launched at least 200 ballistic missiles at various military bases in Israel last October 1 to avenge the violation of Iran’s sovereignty by Israel, the killing of Hamas leader Ismail Haniya, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and the bloodshed of innocent women, men and children in Lebanon and Palestine in the Tel Aviv attack. These attacks caused extensive damage to Israeli bases. After that, Israel threatened to respond to the attack by Iran. On Saturday morning, he apparently carried out the threat.
A statement from the Public Relations Office of Iran’s Air Defense Department said the attack caused “minor” damage in some areas. Iran said Israel would face a proportionate response to any move.
Condemnation of the attack
Various countries have condemned the Israeli aggression. Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Ministry said the Israeli military aggression was a clear violation of sovereignty and international law and norms. Saudi Arabia condemned the aggressive attack. The attack on Iran is a clear violation of international law and a serious threat to regional stability, the Malaysian Foreign Ministry said in a statement. Pakistan, Oman and several other countries have condemned the Israeli aggression. On the other hand, the UK government called on Iran to refrain from retaliating.
The US media New York Times published the information on the targets that Israel has attacked some of Iran’s infrastructure. The paper quoted two Iranian officials as saying that Israel had attacked an S-300 air defense system at Tehran’s Imam Khomeini International Airport. Apart from this, at least three missiles of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) were also attacked.
On the other hand, a drone attack was carried out on the secret Parchin military base; Which is located on the outskirts of the capital Tehran. At least one of the drones used by Israel in the attack hit the base. Iran managed to shoot down the rest of the drones.

meanwhile Israel informed Iran of the attack plan in advance so that the tension does not increase due to this attack. US media Axios reported this information about three sources. They said Israel told Iran through a third party where and what facilities it would attack.
