Israel attack iran.

Israel’s recent airstrikes on Iran mark a serious escalation in their longstanding conflict. Following a major missile attack by Iran on October 1, which targeted Israeli military sites, Israel retaliated early on October 26 with airstrikes on about 20 military locations around Tehran and Karaj. The Israeli Defense Forces cited the operation as a response to ongoing Iranian aggression.

The United States, informed beforehand, expressed support for Israel’s right to self-defense but warned against potential escalation. Iran, with 1,000 missiles ready to launch, has signaled readiness to retaliate if needed, raising concerns of further regional destabilization. This direct confrontation breaks from their previous proxy conflict methods and could impact international diplomatic efforts across the Middle East.
