Iran’s President Vows Massive Response to Potential Israeli Attack
Iran’s president, Ebrahim Raisi, has issued a stern warning to Israel, stating that the country would face a “massive and harsh response” if it were to launch an attack. This statement comes amidst reports from US officials suggesting that Israel may be planning such an attack.
The tension between the two nations escalated when Iran launched over 330 missiles and drones towards Israel in retaliation for an alleged bombing of its Syrian consulate by Israel. Foreign Secretary Lord David Cameron expressed hope that Israel’s potential retaliation would not escalate the conflict further.
Experts from Sky News have indicated that Israel is considering an airstrike on critical Iranian infrastructure, including air bases and nuclear facilities. Israel’s military capabilities include 39 F-35 stealth fighter jets, which are known for their invisibility. There are also reports of Israeli F-35s conducting surveillance missions in Iranian airspace.
Iran, on the other hand, has been working on improving its air defense systems in recent years. The country possesses at least 42 long-range surface-to-air missile launchers, including Russian-made S-300 launchers acquired in 2016.
The situation remains tense as both countries demonstrate their military readiness. Iran’s president declared that they are “100% ready in all aerial fronts,” while Israel continues to assess its options for potential retaliation. The world watches closely as the conflict between these two nations unfolds.
