So did Israel retaliate for Iran's attack?
That appears to be the case as reported now:
Here's more on the topic, and this is honestly not encouraging, depending how you view this news:
A US official told ABC News on Thursday night that Israel launched an attack on Iran and that that Israeli missiles had hit a site in Iran.As Hugh Fitzgerald notes, Biden's company has been trying to prevent Israel from retaliating:
A military source told Fox News that Israel carried out a "limited" strike in Iran.
The comments came after Iran's Fars news agency reported explosions near the Isfahan airport and an Iranian military air base.
“The cause of these sounds is still unknown, and investigations continue until the exact details of the incident are determined,” it said.
The remains of intercepted Iranian drones and missiles shot down over Israel and Jordan are still smoldering, and already the Bidenites are trying to prevent Israel from launching its own strike in retaliation for what Washington admits was a hugely “disproportionate” response by Iran to the killing of a high-ranking Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) commander, Mohamed Reza Zahedi, in Damascus. Biden has said his government will not take part in any attack by Israel on Iran. Apparently that “ironclad” support for Israel that the Bidenites continue to claim extends only to defensive measures. It does not include support for actions that might now be taken by the IDF to make an aggressive Iran “pay the cost” of its own aggression. Furthermore, the Bidenites have told Israel not to retaliate against Iran, but to “take the win.” If Israel were to follow the Bidenites’ advice, Iran would get away scot-free after its massive and “disproportionate” attack on Israel, that included the launching of 170 drones, 130 ballistic missiles, and 30 cruise missiles. [...]One of the most offensive tactics of antisemites is to make it sound as though only military sources were under attack, while obscuring the civilians altogether. If the Biden "administration" did that, it's truly offensive.
It was not just “military facilities” in Israel that were under attack. It’s true that the Nevatim Air Base and the Dimona nuclear reactor were two of the sites the Iranians were aiming for. But they also had missiles headed to Jerusalem, which the IDF shot down. Just imagine the reaction of the world’s Muslims if an Iranian missile had hit Al-Aqsa Mosque or the Dome of the Rock. Another target was apparently the Golan Heights, the site of both a military outpost and several civilian towns.
Here's more on the topic, and this is honestly not encouraging, depending how you view this news:
Israel had not publicly commented as of this morning, and Iran has not blamed Israel for what appeared to be a series of three explosions. Iranian state media said “three small drones” were intercepted by its air defenses and that there was no significant damage to the base.If this is correct, how do they expect to cripple Iran's nuclear facilities? You could make a similar argument about Russia's, based on where they've been going under Vladimir Putin, and attacking Ukraine. If anything, neither Israel nor any other countries concerned about Iran's aggression should be reluctant to destroy Iran's nuclear sites. There's no telling how this situation is going to end.
The International Atomic Energy Agency also said there was no damage to Iran’s nuclear facilities. “IAEA can confirm that there is no damage to #Iran’s nuclear sites,” the agency said on X. “[Director General Rafael Mariano Grossi] continues to call for extreme restraint from everybody and reiterates that nuclear facilities should never be a target in military conflicts. IAEA is monitoring the situation very closely.”
