Did they poke the sleeping lion? Iran launched a massive missile attack on Israel, supporting Hezbollah, but concerns are growing that Israel may retaliate by targeting Iran's nuclear facilities. There are analyses suggesting that Iran has provided Israel with a pretext to attack its nuclear facilities. According to foreign media outlets like CNN and ABC, Iran fired 200 missiles towards Israel on the night of the 1st. This is a large-scale attack five months after their previous drone and missile strikes in April. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard stated that this missile attack was retaliation for the deaths of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, and Abbas Forushia, the deputy commander of operations for the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, due to Israeli attacks. They added that if there are no further retaliatory actions from Israel, they would consider this attack as concluded.

The Foreign Minister emphasized that this action was taken after demonstrating tremendous restraint to create room for a ceasefire. However, it seems that Israel has no intention of sleeping on this matter. Having intercepted most of Iran's missiles with its air defense systems, Israel has declared retaliatory attacks against Iran. IDF spokesperson Colonel Daniel Hagari stated that we will carry out operations at the places and times we decide, indicating that retaliation is imminent. Some experts predict that if Iran launches further attacks on Israel, it may target Iran's nuclear facilities. Israel has previously attempted to thwart Iran's nuclear ambitions in various ways, and in fact, in 1981, it bombed Iraq's Osirak reactor, and in 2007, it bombed a reactor in Syria. According to a report by the International Atomic Energy Agency released last February, Iran could have a nuclear bomb within two weeks.

Iran continues to enrich uranium to a purity of 60%. Therefore, there are observations that Israel's allies, who have opposed Iran's nuclear development, will not retaliate if Israel strikes Iranian nuclear facilities. However, Iran has warned that it will respond in kind if Israel attacks its nuclear facilities. Ahmad Hag Talab, the commander responsible for nuclear security in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, stated in an interview with the Tasnim news agency on the 18th that if Israel attacks our nuclear facilities, we will definitely retaliate. Iran is supporting Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis in Yemen, and it appears to have directly intervened despite U.S. warnings, as at least two militia groups are facing the threat of being neutralized. The escalating atmosphere of total war in the Middle East is now focusing on how the United States, Israel's closest ally, will respond to Iran. Senior officials in the White House...

Officials warned that the United States would help defend Israel and that a direct attack on Israel would have serious consequences for Iran. As the U.S. urged Israel to refrain from retaliatory attacks, Israel's response has not yet been clearly evident. Initially, it was reported that Israel would retaliate against Iran's nuclear facilities and air bases in the event of a direct attack from Iran. This is World Defense.
