In a recent strike, the Israeli military announced that it had successfully targeted Iran’s missile manufacturing facilities and surface-to-air missile arrays across multiple areas of the country. They claim this action was in response to Iran’s previous ballistic missile attack on Israel.
The United States has supported Israel’s actions, labeling them as an exercise of self-defense against Iran’s aggression. White House National Security Council spokesman, Sean Savett, stated that the strikes were necessary following Iran’s attack on October 1st.
Interestingly, the United States was informed beforehand about the Israeli strikes, but they assert that they had no direct involvement in the operation. The Iranian army reported the loss of two soldiers during the Israeli air strikes, which they condemned as acts of aggression from the “criminal Zionist regime.”
This event marks a significant escalation in tensions between Iran and Israel, with the United States standing firmly behind Israel in their actions.
