Explosions rocked Tehran early Friday morning, and Israel’s defense minister said his country’s warplanes had carried out an attack on Iran, raising fears of an all-out war between two of the most powerful militaries in the Middle East.
Neither the scale of the attack nor the damage it caused was immediately clear. The strike was expected to prompt swift retaliation from Iran, likely involving a large barrage of ballistic missiles comparable to that Iran fired during similar escalations last year.
Yeah I made my comment before I saw that Israel was continuing attacks.
Iran definitely couldn’t just sit around even if that would have been strategically sound.
Iran definitely made their force felt though, and their people rallied around them for it. At this point we just have to hope Israel doesn’t go all “Samson” either in retaliation for these waves or inevitable future retaliation. I think Iran is stronger and it’s people more united than Israel expected.
