Recent events in the ongoing tensions between Iran and Israel have seen both parties engaging in military actions and responses.
Iran’s Response
Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei praised the country’s armed forces for their attack on Israel, emphasizing the importance of military innovation and understanding the enemy’s tactics.
The attack on Israel on April 13, involving over 300 missiles and drones, was in retaliation to Israel’s suspected bombing of Iran’s embassy compound in Damascus on April 1.
Khamenei highlighted the significance of Iran’s demonstration of willpower during the operation.
Israel’s Retaliatory Strikes
Israel reportedly conducted retaliatory strikes in Isfahan on April 19, following the attack from Iran. However, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian downplayed the impact of the strikes, referring to them as resembling toys rather than drones.
De-escalation Efforts
Media reports suggest that both Iranian and Israeli authorities are showing a muted response, indicating efforts to de-escalate the tensions between the two nations.
Satellite Imagery Confirmation
Satellite imagery released in the past 24 hours confirmed the damage caused by the attacks on an Iranian air base. Reports indicated that part of the air defence system at an airfield in Isfahan was affected by the Israeli strikes.
The specifics of the weapons used in the attack remain undisclosed, as Israel has chosen to maintain silence on the matter.
