Iran has threatened that if Israel or the United States respond to the attacks carried out in Israeli territory last night, it will be attacked more heavily. Iran had fired 300 missiles and drones at Israel. It claims that the Israeli military failed to stop more than half of the missiles and drones from reaching their targets.
Iran’s warning is very troubling for Israel in view of the fact that US President Joe Biden has also said in a telephone conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that if the Israeli army responds to Iran’s attacks, the US will not only will not participate in the attack, but will not support Israel either.
Last night, Iran launched a major attack on Israel, turning the year-long covert war into a real war. Israel says that it will give a strong response to this attack. In this regard, the Israeli cabinet is considering various options.
The Chief of Staff of the Iranian Army, Major General Mohammad Bagheri, said in an interview with state TV that Tehran has warned Washington that American military bases will be targeted if it supports Israel. He said that if Israel responded to last night’s attack, a bigger attack would be carried out in response.
